Buffy's -- she'll be everywhere. So, I'll be everywhere.
( Billy's only kind of his responsibility, he thinks.
It's impossible not to crash back into the memory of their first time. Of how eager she was. He treated her so delicately, but she wanted him more than anyone else ever had. She was the dream. But, so was serving his country. And he couldn't do both. Or, so he believed.
He was beneath her. Not to her pedigree. A grunt. A nobody in boot camp beaten down and remolded into their image. Eight weeks apart changed everything. For him. He never apologized. )
Her name's Buffy. She's training for the olympics. ( Her body's a weapon, not quite like his is.
He wants to tell her more, that she just lost her mom. She's intense in a too much way and she throws herself at him - and anyone else. But they aren't friends. He has few friends like that. When does he talk about himself, anyway. ) What are the odds.
