Trapper started to bark at the others. "Yes, I know who you are, Henry. I know what happened. Just leave me alone at the moment." After some time to get his strength back from the punch, he stormed out of the Swamp and over to the showers. He knocked on the door.
"Is it all right if I came in?"
"Yes," the person in the tent said. She started to cry. Trapper walked in, only to find Margaretfully clothedtaking a shower. She was not in the best of moods at that point, and the incident in the Swamp didn't help. "I'm sorry I hurt you, baby," she said, sniffling.
"I know. It's all right." He wrapped his arms around Margaret's waist. "Will you tell me what happened? What's the matter?"
Margaret held back her tears. "Well, Frank wrote me a letter. In it, he said that you were a jackass and I'm the only person in his life. I think he's a piece of shit for saying that. The only person in his life is his wife, and even I don't think she cares enough for him to realize that." She started to cry again.
"Honey, don't cry," Trapper said. How about you take some time to get some rest. It's been a long night already, and I'd really appreciate it if you take your mind off of this subject. All right?"
"Yes. I will." With that, Margaret left the showers and headed for her tent. She still had Frank's letter on her mind, and that was enough for her. She grabbed a writing implement and sat on the edge of her bed. Grabbing a piece of paper, she started to write a little message:
Frank,
You know that letter you sent me? I'm trying to hide the emotions that I have for you. I still have feelings for you, but you're not the only person in my life. I hope you can still forgive me if I say that Trapper proposed to me while we were in Tokyo during R&R. Please don't get mad at me. I know you're married (and by the way, I probably can't stand your wife) and can't get into a relationship during your stay here, but I hope that we can be close friends.
Signed,
Margaret
