A couple years later
A couple years later and everything was finally going right for Matt. He and hunter's teacher had gotten married and were now taking things a bit slowly. Right now Matt was overseas in the army in the middle of the trenches while talking to the other soldiers.
"So are you ready to get back for Christmas?" one of the soldiers asked him.
"Yeah very. Right now I just want to be home with them. You?" He said while shooting.
"Same. I think just that fact is what keeping some people here sane."
Just then the senior officer called out to them.
"Jones, Ryan. Over here."
"Yes sir."
"How would you like to go home early for the holidays?"
"We wouldn't mind but are you sure?" they said.
"Yes I'm sure. You guys can go home and if we need people we'll let you know."
"Thanks sir." They then walked away and started to pack their things and go.
About a couple hours later and they were home on their way back home. While waiting for his next plane, he was sitting down in his seat in the airport when someone came up and started talking to him.
"Hi"
"Hi."
"So where are you heading to?" she asked.
"Albuquerque. You?"
"Same but only for a few days."
"Ah so like a vacation sort of."
"Yeah what about you?"
"Oh I'm just going home for the holidays to see my family. You look familiar if you don't mind me saying."
"Thank you I guess. Depending on who it."
"Oh my ex-girlfriend." He said showing her a picture. She then looked at the picture and she remembered something.
"I think I know this person. What her name?"
"Brooke Bolton"
"Yeah I know her."
"How do you know her?"
"I'm her mother. I know her but she probably doesn't know me."
"And she never will."
"Why is that?"
"Because she isn't around anymore." They then announced the plane. "Well that's my plane. I have to go. Here is my number if you want to call sometime." He said giving her a piece of paper. "By the way, what is your name?"
"Amy Cassidy. Yours?"
"Matt Ryan."
"I'll see you around then matt Ryan."
"Ok"
