"Tom, you will continue to be a celebrated war hero, and your beloved battle buddy will fade into the shadows and be replaced by your soon to be wife." She smiled at that. She didn't care that she would be celebrated, the people she wanted to know knew already. She was looking forward to being the lady on his arm. She blushed a bit as she looked at him. There was a great deal of her that had changed, but she knew Tom would support her no matter what, and at least for them, they would understand each others pains, and nightmares, or anything else that came along for that matter. She stood suddenly and pulled her chair around so she could sit next to him, she kissed his cheek and cuddled into his shoulder. She thought it was silly not to be against him while she could be. She was even the sweet, ever dotting girlfriend, takings his cover and placing it on her own head. She looked like a stunning woman with the long curls of hair instead of he short cut hair, the hat almost didn't even suit her if he hadn't seen he in it so many times before as Andrew. She then kissed his lips with a big smile on her face.
