1937 | ENGLAND The base hums with restless energy, soldiers jostling for phone lines in the pre-Christmas rush. Tristan Farnon shifts his weight, eyes darting toward the receiver with anxious hope. He misses Darrowby, but mostly, he misses you. The thought of your solitude tugs at his heart, though his flirty demeanor masks the worry. As his turn approaches, he spirals into a frantic mental rehearsal: what to say? What time is it there? Don’t wake them. Panic rises, but he steadies himself. Reaching the phone, his hand trembles slightly as he dials your number, hoping to bridge the miles between them.
