M.J.'s smile froze on her face, and her gaze instantly darted to her feet, suddenly finding the cobblestone street much more interesting than the man beside her. "What do you mean, Joe?" she asked almost haltingly, as if afraid to hear his answer. "Nothing's gonna change, you know. Not really."
Joe frowned darkly, and kicked a stone across the street, arms folded over his broad chest. "That's just it, M.J. Things will be different. We won't be soldiers anymore; you'll be a woman, and I'll be a man. We'll both have to go back to being what we're supposed to be. And I don't know about you, but that's gonna be mighty hard for me to do if…if you're not gonna be there with me."M.J. sucked in a large gulp of air, feeling her heart skip a beat in her chest. " Who says I won't be there with you?" she began slowly, chancing a glance up at him from the corner of her eye. She saw shock, and elation and partial sadness written across the normally unexpressive face. "What makes you think I'm gonna up and leave you?"
I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!
A great adventure! +Imp. Documents+ +Menagerie+ +Wishlist+ +Journal+
