“I didn’t want you to see me like this.” Lisa turned her face away. It had turned a blotchy red with flakey skin.
“Don’t turn from me. Sure, look at me, I’m as bad. It’s just this cursed world. Today, could be our last day. I don’t want to spend it away from you.” He hold his hands out.
She turned back around and embraced once more. “You’re incorrigible, you know that don’t you.”
He whispered into her ear. “I love you.”
What was I thinking? Why did I say that?
She tightened her grip.
“Will you two get a room. We don’t need to see this sort of thing” John shouted out to all.
“Yes, get a room.” Yvonne added. Luke and Lisa giggled to each other .
“Your just jealous,” Luke replied looking back at John.
“Of course I am. Hey, move over and let me in.”
“As if!” Lisa interjected.
With that, they broke their embrace and turned to the others.
“It is good to see you though, John,” Lisa continued.
“He was like a lost puppy. I had to bring him to see you.”
They all laughed including the other three female Troopers manning the heavy gun.
