\u201cI can only just about hear you, Mary. The line\u2019s not good and there\u2019s a lot of noise here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m at the station. Yes, that\u2019s right, overnight. We all have to leave in the morning on the troop train. It\u2019s taking us across to the coast, there\u2019s a big army base there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? What did you say? Yes, that\u2019s right. It\u2019s my last night here. We fly out to Vietnam tomorrow night.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, I know. I love you too. I\u2019m gonna miss you bad. I\u2019m feelin\u2019 pretty low already.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I\u2019ve got a surprise for you. I need to see you, babe. I need you here by my side for one more night. One last kiss over a cup of coffee in the cafe here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s that? Of course you can come. There\u2019s still time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I know, I love you too, my darlin\u2019. I\u2019ve made you a reservation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? Of course you can come. There\u2019s one more train tonight you can catch. I\u2019ve got you a seat on it. It gets here by four thirty. It\u2019s the last train.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t hang around, babe. Come now. I must see you one more time, and you know what, I may not come back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, I know. I shouldn\u2019t think like that should I. But I can\u2019t help it. I\u2019m feelin\u2019 pretty low. Come and cheer me up. Take the last train and you can be here by four thirty. I\u2019ll be waiting at the station.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, I must hang up the phone. I can\u2019t hear you above all this noise. Come see me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
