As Ken’s best friend, Henry was well aware of the complicated history between them. 

“It’s good to see you,” Calista said, forcing a small smile before jogging to catch up with her group. Henry watched her fade into the crowd, a faint smile playing on his face. “Good to see you too,” he

“The woman I love is at this base,” he said, his voice softening. “I lost my chance before, but this time, 

I won’t let her go.” 

Confusion knitted Calista’s brow. Was Henry really in love with someone here? She made a mental 

note to ask him later. 

As she stepped back quietly, a twig snapped under her foot. She winced, but the pair seemed too absorbed in their conversation to notice. The woman’s voice grew tearful, though the words faded 

into the night as Calista retreated, her thoughts swirling.
