I had shifted up yet another gear. I cleared my throat and changed into reverse. ‘So why no wife?’ I could tell he was assimilating my previous s...atement whilst answering the last. ‘The woman I loved married another guy,’ he said suddenly slightly downbeat. ‘Oh God, that’s really sad,’ I said almost in a cry. ‘No it’s not,’ he answered quickly. ‘She is very happy and with the guy she really loves.’ I wanted to ask more but felt I had already delved into some tricky territory. I had to get. . I checked my phone and saw 1 new messageLewis: took to long left with out you, your walking. Seeing that I threw my phone at the wall and then stomped on it, after releasing my anger I slid down and just wanted to start sobbing, what kept me from that was seeing Sara across the room looking at me fearfully and terrified Sara: are you?...Me: ...yeah I'm...ok I could hear her gentle foot steps heading towards me, once she reached me she looked at me and then kneeled down I front of me Me: you. My feet were killing me by the time we made it to the car and the day still wasn’t over. I looked forward to the spa and I hoped there was a massage waiting for me. Sure enough, the salon was wonderful and very relaxing and Johanna and I felt great getting pampered with facials, manicures, pedicures and neck and back massages. The car was loaded with bags from the mall and the ride home was of a contented silence. We were starved by the time we made it back to my parent’s house and it was lit. I appointed them as corporals, and put them in charge of teaching melee tactics.Three days later, we met for our first days of militia training. We ran and tested for skills. I was surprised that the turnout was so good. We had 150 men come to join with our militia group.I had fifteen scouts, forty archers and the rest divided up into eight squads. One squad was one swordsman short.We worked on conditioning, marching and working as a unit. We also went over what commands we would anticipate.
