Flossie Wright responded with detached indifference.
"Uh, okay, good." With an awkward nod, Rowdy Brightwill breathed a sigh of relief in his mind, trying his best to remain relaxed. After a long pause, he spoke again, "I'm going home for the New Year. Do you want to come with me? I can help get you leave permission."
Going home with Flossie Wright, was something Rowdy Brightwill had been thinking about for a long time.
Ever since Flossie Wright told her mother she wanted to call off her engagement, he had been planning this event. He had also devised many ways to get leave permission for Flossie Wright. After all, she was non-combat personnel and didn't need to participate in lengthy training. The head of the cooking class, Lin, was quite accommodating, so there was no issue for Rowdy Brightwill to ask the Brigadier to grant a few days off.
The real issue was whether or not Flossie Wright was willing.
