Awwwww, but you're so cheating on Frederick!
lol, Only kidding. It took me 20 minutes to figure out where Sam was from
*Kim and Angie hear the door close and call to her from the bedroom*
Kim: Theresa, is that you?
*No answer. Kim calls her again*
Kim: Theres--
Theresa: Yes...I'm here.
*By the sound in her voice, Kim and Angie know exactly what happened. The girls get off their beds and walk into the living room area to Theresa*
Angie: What happened?
Theresa: Nothing.
Kim: You're not fooling anyone, Theresa; we've been your sister for too long, now tell us what happened!
Angie: Was he cute?
Kim: Was he handsome?
Both: Was he tall?!
*Theresa cracks a smile and looks to the girls*
Theresa: He was perfect...but he was just...*sigh*
Angie: She's hooked.
Kim: Oh, you know it! So, what's his name?
Theresa: Sam Whalan...
Angie: He even sounds like a hunk!
Theresa: Oh he is! But he...he just...
Kim: Yeah?
Theresa: He's just not who I ever pictured my guy would be like.
Angie: Really? Is he a jerk?
Theresa: No, no, he's very nice but I think he's had women in the past.
*Kim looks to Angie and nods, rolling her eyes*
Kim: Oh, one of
those. Did he admit to it or--
Theresa: Well no, but he called me "baby" and you know how I hate that...
Kim: I hate that, too; did you stand for it though? Or did you tell him flat out?
Theresa: Oh, I told him flat out but he said, "that's what all the girls like to be called."
Angie: Well, what's so bad about that?
Theresa: What's so bad about that?! Angie, that means he's had more than a dozen women and I'm just anot--
Angie: No, no, he means that's what all the other girls like; those other aid girls. You should know that; we work with enough of them.
Theresa: Really? So you don't think he's had--
Kim: I wouldn't worry about it at all. Besides, if he really likes you then he'll see you again; but if he's just another playboy then the creep won't make any attempt to contact you again.
Theresa: Oh I hope he wants to see me again. He's just so...so...
*Kim and Angie look to each other and smirk, then look back to Theresa, thinking of their boys*
Both: We know...
*They all giggle and head off to bed for another big day of nursing the soldiers. The next afternoon, well into their work day, the girls sit next to a few soldiers to bandage them up. Kim sits next to one of her daily patients, who's been at the hospital for more than a week, and places a cool rag over his bloodied wound*
Kim: How are you feeling today, John?
John: *Deep, sharp inhale, trying to ignore the pain* Better than before; do you think I'll be able to get out in time to see my little boy and wife?
*Kim smiles and places her hand gently on his shoulder, trying to give him as much hope as she can*
Kim: I'm sure of it, John; just stay strong, drink a lot of water and get your rest.
*She dabs at the wound just a bit then stands back up to go rinse the rag out. Angie and Theresa are right next to her grabbing some tools in the cabinets; they see James walk in and nudge Kim*
Theresa: Looks like your Captain's here, Kim.
*Kim looks up confused*
Kim: What?
*She sees James searching the hospital tent and quickly turns around*
Kim: I can't believe he's here!
Angie: Seems like he's looking for you...go up and say hi.
Kim: I couldn't; he isn't interested in me at all...
Theresa: Why would he be here if he weren't interested? Come on, go say hi...
Kim: I'll pretend like I don't see him; if he really wanted to see me then he'll come and speak to me.
*Kim wrings out her rag and walks up to another solider, sitting next to him and tending to his wounds. James notices her across the room and walks up to her.*
James: Hello, ma'am...
*He takes his hat off and looks down to her. She looks up and smiles*
Kim: Hello...
*Nervous but incredibly excited, Kim looks back down and tends to the man, almost bursting with giddiness*
James: I came to apologize about last night, I had no right treatin' a woman as yourself in such a way.
Kim: Oh, that's all right Captain James, I understand.
*James smiles and nods his head, placing his hat back on his head*
James: Thank you, ma'am.
*He begins to walk off when she stands up and calls to him*
Kim: Where are you going?
James: I came to apologize, ma'am, and that's just what I've done; now I must be getting back.
*He walks off and leaves Kim standing alone with a bloody rag in her hand. She walks over to the nurse station and places the rag in the bowl, as if in a daze.*
Theresa: How'd it go? Did he ask you for a date?
Angie: Does he want to see you tonight?
Kim: He came to clear his conscience...
