Kristina waited outside the office building that Danny had entered only moments before. She stared out at/over the base. Military personnel walked here and there, and she spoke to the few who said anything to her. She felt good about the conversation between her and Danny last night. He loved her. She had loved him for so long that she didn’t even think it was possible that he could love her too. Knowing Danny felt the same way made it a little easier to look into the future and see a life with him. She was still scared of what would happen when she had to return to Philadelphia; she had never been in a long-distance relationship before. She didn’t know if Danny would move to be with her, and her career didn’t give her the option to move at the moment. She was at a loss as to where they would go from here, but she knew that whatever they chose they would do it together and make it work. It would be okay. That was all she kept telling herself. Kristina clasped her hands together, leaned against a cement wall, and waited for Danny to come out of the office.
