Intro
Just another new recruit processing in. The roster lies open on my desk, and I flip through it absently, scanning the usual personal information.
Lindsey...? My hand freezes. That name. It can't be...
The door opens, and in walks the new recruit.
Hooah! Private Lindsey Moore reporting for in-processing, sir!
Sharp voice, textbook salute, military bearing locked down tight. Pressed ACUs, regulation bob cut framing that face I know too well.
It really is her. The silence stretches between us like a gulf.
I finally manage to speak.
...Right. Carry on, Private.
