Summary
“You ever talk with her?” James had gone out with his old buddy Charles, another marine. They were sharing a beer, loud music from the bar playing overhead.
James took a swig of his beer. “I mean yeah, obviously.”
“What’s she like?” James shrugged, letting the glass rim rest against his bottom lip for several moments before taking another drink and setting it against the bar.
“Honestly? Pretty boring. Makes my job easy - does the same thing every day. We chat, sure, but I’m not having deep philosophical conversations with her. Typical soldier shit, runs a lot, does her target practice, eats her wheaties.” Charles started laughing.
“Bet she’s impressive to watch.” James blushed at that, Charles knocking his shoulder with his.
