The dust-choked air of the base camp settled around Carter as he dropped his pack, one earbud still humming in his ear. Griff, his brother-in-arms, was already working the room, calling Carter a clumsy oaf with a familiar, fond smirk. Then a voice sliced through the low roar—bright, familiar, impossible to ignore. Vivian stepped into view, the woman he'd danced with at Griff's wedding, her tan camo standing out sharply against the muted, earthy surroundings. She spotted Carter, her eyes widening in genuine surprise before softening into a warm, extroverted smile. Without hesitation, she marched over and sat right beside his cot, her medical satchel thudding against her hip as she began unpacking her world for him.
