Sheri really thought that this handsome Navy officer would never call her. During the days that followed, Sheri went about her duties at the hospital.
"So Capt. how was your date with the Navy?" Major Craig asked.
"That's strictly need to know information. You don't have a need to know, sir" Sherri replyed.
"Wow, that's telling him." Sherri's best friend Janet said. "I was just coming to tell you that someone send you flowers. They are at the nurse's station."
"Now who would be sending me flowers here? I hope it's not that weasel major Craig."
"You're never know unless you read the card." Janet said anxiouly as the two nurses walked over to the flowers.
Sheri take the card. She smiled and turned a bright shade of red.
"Well, who's the flowers from?" Janet can't wait for the answer.
"From Harm, Cmdr. Rabb. The Navy Cmdr. that Major Craig is so jealious of. He enjoyed our time together the other day and promises to call so we can get together again." Sheri should have been smiling, but she wasn't.
"I thought that you and the Cmdr. hit it off the other day." Janet inquired.
"We did."
"So was's the problem?"
"I problem is..." Sheri hesitated for a moment. "The problem is I don't know if I'm ready to see someone socially."
Janet was becoming a bit upset with her friend. " Look, Sheri. It's been almost ten years since Trevor was killed. I haven't met this Cmdr. Rabb yet, but from the way Major Craig acts when you mention the Cmdr.'s name, he must be pretty nice looking."
"Oh Harm is a doll. I just don't think I can forget Trevor."
"Nobody is asking you to forget Trevor. He would want you to be happy."
" I guess you are right. Even if Harm is a squid." Both friends laughed. "But a very handsome squid." Sheri added.
"Don't worry, Janet. I'll show Harm what Air Force nurses can do." Sheri smiled. "I'll put these flowers in my office.
For the rest of the work day Sheri worked on the mountains of paperwork that she had to do, occasionally glancing over at the flowers that Harm had sent her.
Unexpectedly, the phone rang. It was Harm.
"Hey, Capt. James. How about doing some fraternizing with the Navy?" Harm asked.
"That sounds like fun.Where are we going?" Sheri asked.
"Now, now Air Force, I can't give away all of the Navy secrets. I'll pick you up at your apartment at 1500. Harm said.
"So Capt. how was your date with the Navy?" Major Craig asked.
"That's strictly need to know information. You don't have a need to know, sir" Sherri replyed.
