"Yes, Miss." The soldier on duty said, "Sir Aldrich will be back this afternoon."

"Is there a need for that?"

If you still love him, hurry up and explain it to them, so these two fools don't have to act in a sh*tty drama! I don't want to be the audience of that!"
"We're not done!" I retorted softly, but I still did as she said.
