Valentine's Day

There's a single red rose on his cot when he returns from the mess tent. It takes him a minute to remember it's Valentine's Day, and then he gets this kooky, cocky grin on his face as he ponders… "Was it Nurse Robinson? Baker? Thompson?"

B.J. listens without comment, a secret behind his sparkling eyes.

"It was Bigelow!" Hawkeye exclaims, suddenly sure. He takes a whiff of the flower and heads out. "I'm off to have a romantic Valentine's Day celebration. Don't wait up for me, Beej."

B.J. watches him go. "It wasn't Bigelow," he whispers to the empty tent.
