Instinctively wanting to ask Flossie Wright's thoughts.
If Flossie Wright were her, facing this situation, what would she do?
"Do you really like him?" Flossie asked leisurely.
"Yeah!" Sophie Fitch nodded vigorously.
"Then try to understand him."
Looking at her, Flossie said lightly.
"But..." Sophie Fitch scratched her head, "He doesn't tell me anything."
"What do you want to know?" Flossie asked.
"I..."
Sophie Fitch suddenly stopped.
What did she want to know?
She wanted to know... so much, so much.
What he was doing, if the Forces were hard work, how it compared to school, if he learned more than at school, if he was happy...
Normally she had little contact with him, even calls were short, not enough time to ask so many things.
But—
What she wanted to know the most was his plans for the future.
She kept chasing his steps but could never see the end.
She didn't even know when it would end.
Very confused.
Confused to the point of panic.
