PseudoPod 101: Homecoming
Homecoming

“How long’s it been?”
“Almost a year.” She dabbed her eyes on her sleeve. “Seems longer though. Gavin joined the Army just after we got married. They transferred him to Fort Hannah when things started heating up with the Indians.”

“What for? He’s still your husband.”
“I’m scared he won’t come.”
