It was the Thursday before the wedding, and the engaged couple had invited everyone to come hang out at Jeff’s grandfather’s house in Southold, a ...mall wealthy town way out east on Long Island. Because you and Jenn still lived together in Manhattan, you took off early knowing it would take a couple hours to get there.While driving, you start telling Jenn everything you can about who you know is gonna be there.She asks you “So are we gonna like play the whole couple thing the whole time or are. Something deep inside her awakened, and the hint of a smile touched her lips. If he wants it this way, so be it.The door opened again, and the Colonel stepped inside. “Lieutenant Worthington. I need to see you in my office — now!”Worthington’s sloppy attitude ceased between one heartbeat and the next.

This teenage nympho had just come up to my office and teased the hell out of me, then ran off like a scared deer. I was steamed.I watched out the window and plotted my next move. I retreated to my work, but couldn't get what had transpired out of my head. I peeked. " What the hell is this about a parade? What kind of a parade?" A parade for you. To welcome you home from the war, just like they do in other towns. I've seen it on television." I don't want a parade. Who came up with that idea? That's just plain dumb! They don't have parades for one guy. They have parades for an entire unit. And besides, I wasn't in the war, Mother; I was in Europe, about as safe a place as you can be." Well, I still think you deserve a parade. This town needs to recognize.
