Saturday came and went without any word from Danny but I had to work all day anyway so I didn't have much time to think about it. Sunday was another story altogether though. I came home from my shift at the hospital to find Evelyn crying.

"Evelyn what's wrong, what's happened?" I asked her, afraid of what her answer would be.

"It's Rafe…" she sobbed "he's, he's dead." She said her tears spilling over even more. I pulled her into my arms and held her as she cried. My heart broke at the sound of her pain, and then my thought went to Danny. He and Rafe had been like brothers, and just like that my heart broke even more.

"Does Danny know?" I asked her after her tears had subsided a little. She just nodded her head.

"He was the one who told me, he just left here to head back to the base not ten minutes ago. You should go to him right now, he will need you more than I will." She said sitting up. Her hair was messy and her cheeks were streaked with her makeup that had smeared as she cried.

"Are you sure, I could stay with you." I told her. She nodded her head that she was so I stood and walked out of her room. I found her car keys and ran outside. The base was maybe ten minutes away so Danny had to have reached it by now.

When I finally reached the base I parked the car and got out. I found Danny's building and then knocked on the door. I didn't have to wait long for someone to answer it but when the door opened it was Red on the other side of it. He looked shaken up, but all in all he seemed to be holding it together.

"Hey Red is Danny here?" I asked smiling softly at him. He glanced back at something behind him but I couldn't really see what he was looking at.

"He d-d-doesn't want t-t-to see anyone r-r-right now." He told me a sympathetic look on his face. My heart lurched a little at his words but I understood Danny's wanting to be alone right now.

"Okay could you just tell him that I'm here for him when he's ready to talk." I said, Red nodded his head and then shut the door again. My thoughts drifted back to when my brother had died as I walked back towards the car. My father had stayed in his room for days before he finally came out. I would just have to give Danny some time.

I waited to hear from Danny for the better part of three weeks but I still hadn't heard anything from him. So after my shift at the hospital ended one night I decided that if he wouldn't come to me then I would go to him. I went home and changed out of my nurse's uniform and then headed down to the base.

I knew where Danny would be because Red had told Betty that they had to work on one of the planes guns tonight. When I climbed out of the car at the base I heard shots being fired in one of the maintenance hangers, so I started off in that direction.

I heard Danny shouting something to the guys helping him but when one of them spotted me they all got really quiet. I watched as the other guys left the hangar as I entered it. Danny was standing on the wing of the plane. He watched me as I got closer.

"They don't have to leave." I said feeling weird that they had all disappeared.

"They're just trying to be discrete." He said. Just as I opened my mouth to reply one of the guys walked back into the hanger. He walked over to a pile of tools lying on the ground and picked a few of them up.

"Forgot my wrenches." He said before disappearing again.

"I just wanted to make sure that you were okay. I haven't heard from you in a while." I said as I looked down at my hands as they played with the fabric of my dress.

"Sorry about that, I meant to some see you but it was just easier to close myself off completely for a while." He said as he messed with the dirty orange rag in his hands.

"Well I guess I better go, I just wanted to see you." I told him smiling as I turned to leave the hanger. I had only made it a few steps before he called after me.

"Lindsay!" he called after me his voice echoing slightly in the hanger. I turned back towards him. His body was twisted towards me, his sunglasses in his hand. He was devastatingly sexy just sitting there. "Have you ever seen Pearl Harbor at sunset?" he asked as he scratched the side of his face nervously.

"Of course I have." I told him not quite sure where he was going with this.

"From the air?" he asked his eyes glinting mischievously. I just smiled at him and shook my head no. The next thing I know I was wrapped in Danny's pilots jacket and sitting on his lap in the cockpit of an airplane as he taxied down the runway.

"You know I could get kicked out of the military for this." He told me laughing softly.

"Really?" I asked I wasn't sure if he was being serious or not.

"Yeah so stay down." he said still laughing softly. I snuggled as close to his body as I could, trying to be invisible.
