The missing had insurance that didn't have to be paid for seven years. He might show up and his ex widow would have to pay it back.But there were othe... times ... times when Daddy and Mommy sat around the fire with other campers, other Marines trying to find peace. They watched the lights of the lake boats reflected on still waters, watched the loom of the lighthouse, and sang the songs of Glen Miller and Tommy Dorsey, along with "Three little fishes in the bottom of the pool." and "Marsidotes. . jealous.”“Speaking of relationships and phones ... sorry, I’ve gotta take this, she’s hiking in the woods today, could be important. I’ll just step out in the hall a moment ... Hey, Girl. You make it up ok? ... Anything wrong? ... I know that tone. Are you taking her back to the house already? ... Well, there’s someone here too, but I’ve got a feeling she might need help ... Yeah, ‘sunglasses indoors, long sleeves, super-jealous boyfriend, ‘ kind of help. I’ll talk to her ... You’ve said. I then drew a 8 and I asked Jen if she had to choose right now between Nick and myself to muff her who would she choose. She said that's rather a hard question as she would love both of us and said she'd prefer for Nick to muff her while she muffs me.We all laughed for some reason before Nick drawing the next card a 5. He went onto his phone. He put on Chainsmokerz closer, he walked to Jen and sat down on her lap backwards facing away from her. He took her hands and ran them over his chest. In time, I'll figure him out too.In the meantime, I have other priorities to deal with.The news of my break-up will spread out like wildfire. Guys will mill around to fill the vacancy, but I'll pretend to be depressed about it. Hopefully, I can last through the rest of the school session without having to keep someone for company.Luckily for me, school ends today without another incident. I race back home and fall face first flat on my bed. My head throbs. My phone rings just then, making in.
