    "How could they?" Rafe fumed as he drove his car away from the spot where he had seen Danny and Evelyn. He was driving to Surfside a bar nearby that was somewhat of a hotspot for pilots at Pearl Harbor. He needed a drink.
    A lot of drinks.
    He had thought that Danny was his friend. Some friend. He cursed mentally. He had thought that Evelyn loved him.
    Wrong there too.
    He had loved Evelyn with all his heart. Her face had been in mind as his plane sank beneath the water. He had thought about here as he was pulled from the water by the French fisherman. She had haunted his thoughts on the long voyage on the Sea Maiden back to America. And she had been the first thing he had thought about getting off at port. As soon as he could he had driven to the boarding house where Evelyn and the other nurses were staying at.
    Evelyn hadn't been there so he had asked Betty where he thought she was. She had told him she might be at Cove Point watching the sunset. So he had gone there hoping to see her. What met his eyes when he found her ripped his heart in two. Evelyn and Danny kissing.
    Rafe knew instantly that it wasn't some "grieving friends of the deceased kiss" it was a kiss that held feelings for each other. When they had saw him Evelyn atleast had the grace to look almost guilty.
    Almost ashamed.
    Danny had no such misgivings. His eyes said too clearly "she is mine now" and even the way he was when he was near here said that too.
    One arm draped possessively around her waist, holding her close.
    They thought he was dead. That was what they claimed. Neither of them had probably even thought that he would live. Danny as soon as he had heard that Rafe was dead had probably swooped in to "comfort" Evelyn. He would have never thought Danny for a double crosser. Guess when you're "dead" people show their true colors.
    He wouldn't lay the blame on Evelyn. She had probably been so caught up in her grief that she was easy prey for Danny. He had seduced her pretending to be grieving with her about him. Still he would have thought that Evelyn had more loyalty in her than to go out with Danny.
    He shook his head all of his thoughts were giving him a headache. He drove into the parking lot at Surfside. Slamming the door behind him he entered the bar.
    ~~~

    Cheers broke out as he entered the bar. He was immediately swamped by fellow pilots buying him drinks and asking for all his war over seas stories.
    Sitting down with a glass of beer in his hand he told them everything that happened in England.
    " One thing about fighting Germans is that they stab you in the back when they think your dead." He saw Danny walk in the bar and said loud enough for him to hear, "Like some Americans do too."
    The crowd around him backed away not wanting to get in the middle of a fight.
    Rafe stood up to meet Danny as walked toward him.
