I had won the major battle in my fight for happiness. But there was still much to do. I went back to Washington and told Colonel Wilson that I hoped to be able to come back to the job — if he wanted me — in a couple of months at the most, but that meanwhile would he give me a leave of absence because — well, I had to have a rest and get a few things straightened out. He didn't ask any questions. He just told me that he hoped to get me back. Reno wasn't so bad. I needed to rest and that's what I did for days and days. Then one day my time was up and the lawyer brought me to the court house and I went through that painful routine, emerged into the bright Nevada sun — a free woman ! After that—? Well, I went right to Tom's camp. I'd saved enough so that I could just about manage. 'T'HE sunshine played about Tom's •*■ face as he came out into the recreation room at the Camp where they'd sent me to wait for him. When he saw me he stopped for a long moment as though he couldn't believe his eyes. My heart leaped as he came to me. "Jackie," he said. "This is really funny. I dreamed about you last night. You were so clear in my dream it doesn't seem at all odd to see you today. You're looking wonderful!" "I had a lot of sleep in Reno," I told him. "Reno!" "Yes, darling," I said softly. "You don't have to take me — but I had to be ready when you wanted me." His arms were around me then. "Want you," he was saying. "I haven't thought about anything else since we saw Washington together. Do you remember, darling?" "I'll never forget it as long as I live," I told him. Then he said: "I'll be on my way any day now." My heart sank but I said: "I'm glad I got here in time." He held me close to him and whispered, "Are we going to get married? Today, Jackie?" "Today," I said. And we were married — for his commanding officer gave him the necessary leave. That was weeks, months ago. Tom isn't here now, but I've had some wonderful letters from him. He can't tell me where he is or all the things that are happening to him. But he tells me the same thing in every letter, the thing that I keep close to me every day and night of my life now that I'm back working for Colonel Wilson in Washington. What Tom writes me at the end of every letter is simple and lovely. He puts it in different words but the thought is always the same. He writes "I know I'll be back, darling. I have to see you again and hold you close to me. We're going to win this war, baby, no matter how tough it gets, and then you and I will be together again. Good night, Jackie. I'll dream of you again tonight. I'll never forget you, my darling, because no matter what happens or how long or hard the battle is that's ahead of us, I'll always know that you're the best thing that ever happened to me. I look forward to those swell letters of yours, dearest. Write me soon again, Jackie — and don't forget to tell me what I want to hear again — ■ tell me you're mine!"
