They hurried off the train and started walking. Evelyn was at the front of
the group, in a discussion with Elise about nursing. Shannon and Tiffany
were right behind her, talking and laughing with Betty, Barbara and Sandra.
Just then Rafe, Danny, and the others came up at the same time. Rafe and
Evelyn walked until they were facing each other in the middle of the two
groups. "Good to see you, Lieutenant," Rafe said solemnly.
"You too, Lieutenant," Evelyn replied. They both smiled.
"Pick a hand," Rafe grinned.
"Ummm.," Evelyn chose the right hand. She took a small origami bird out of Rafe's hand. "It's beautiful."
"Well, it should be, it took me six hours to fold them." Rafe grinned.
"What's in your other hand?" Evelyn asked curiously.
"Mine," Rafe replied, pulling out another origami bird that looked just like hers. He picked Evelyn up and swung her around. Evelyn laughed as she spun around in Rafe's arms in front of all their friends. Shannon looked on wistfully. 'God, I wish I had a guy who would do that for me,' she thought. "Oh, I want you to meet my friends," Evelyn smiled, pulling him over to where they were standing, laughing and whispering about Rafe's cute pilot friends. "This is Sandra, Barbara, Shannon, Elise, Tiffany." she pointed to each of them in turn, but trailed off when she realized that Betty was standing right beside her. "Hi," Betty said, shaking Rafe's hand, "Would you happen to have any friends?" Rafe grinned and turned around, looking at his friends.
"Take your pick," he told Betty. Betty grinned when she saw all the pilots.
"Hi," she breathed happily.
Later that night, everyone was at a jazz club. Shannon laughed as she watched a cute pilot try out a pickup line on Sandra. They sat at a table with Danny and Sandra. They didn't talk much, but sat there awkwardly. Sandra tried to make conversation with Shannon and Elise. They talked about nursing, and other things like Rafe and Evelyn. Shannon tried not to reveal that she already knew what Sandra told her. She had watched the movie about 10 times already, and she loved it. Elise and Shannon laughed when Sandra told them about the hospital encounter where Evelyn and Rafe first met. Sandra sighed. "I watch Rafe and Evelyn sometimes; when they think no one's looking. I can't help but get a little jealous," Shannon looked at Elise, then over at Evelyn and Rafe, who were on the dance floor. She opened her mouth to say something, but just then Danny came over to them. "Shannon, may I have this dance?" he asked solemnly, holding out a hand to her. Shannon looked over at Elise, wide-eyed. She'd always had a crush on Josh Hartnett, who played Danny in the movie. 'Go!' Elise mouthed at her, grinning.
"Umm.sure," Shannon finally replied, taking his hand and walking out to the dance floor. Shannon looked over her shoulder at Sandra and Elise and grinned. Elise laughed, but Sandra looked confused. "Shannon's got a crush," Elise explained. Sandra laughed.
"I figured," she replied. They watched as Danny and Shannon started dancing.
"You too, Lieutenant," Evelyn replied. They both smiled.
"Pick a hand," Rafe grinned.
"Ummm.," Evelyn chose the right hand. She took a small origami bird out of Rafe's hand. "It's beautiful."
