His face wrinkled into a scowl. "I am not a coward." John whispered.

"Then tell your wife you screwed up. She deserves to know."

"Howabout you take the orders of your superior, and go back to camp, soldier," John spoke coldly to his friend, but his voice shook.

Peter looked as though he'd been slapped. After a moment, his jaw tensed and he growled, "Yes, sir," before turning once more and pacing away.

A small noise came from behind John.

John's posture hunched, he lifted a hand to pinch the nose of his bridge and try to rub the throbbing from behind his eyes. He felt dazed. Felt wounded, felt poisonous for saying those things.

"Monsieur?" a quiet voice asked.

"What?" He croaked.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know you were married," the woman whispered. She sounded younger then she had before. Weaker, even…

He scoffed quietly. Sure. "Maybe you won't fool around with drunk men, then." John replied quietly. "I have to go."

A gentle hand touched his arm. "For what it's worth… I do think you're kind and brave," she said softly.

A genuine pain brought tears to his eyes, he looked down with overwhelming shame.

"Your wife is lucky to have you." The words sounded forced, but she really did mean it. The only problem is, I want to have you…

"I can't tell her about this," he wiped his eyes. "I can't come back here.."

The woman took a step to stand beside him and pressed a light, whispery kiss to the bottom of his cheek. "I know. And I will truly miss you, Monsieur André."

His lips tightened, and he said nothing. "I'll buy a bottle of whiskey, before I go."

( god. Have you ever wanted to throttle someone so badly. Even though they dont actually exist )

(Yes! XD John or the woman?)

She retreated back inside and got a bottle for him. Slowly, she tied a string around the neck of the bottle and wrote her name on the tag. She hurried out and gave it to him. "I'm sorry for the trouble," she said quietly.

He took it with one hand, muttered a farewell, and left.
He completely forgot about his uniform.
Which meant… He'd be back.

The woman turned and rushed back into the tavern without another word. Quiet tears streamed down her cheeks.
(XD Can you have him just glance at the tag?)

Ye– planned on it too! On the same wavelength!)

John stepped outside, his index finger brushed the edge of the note. Peering down, he flicked it open to see.

♥️ Mirelle

(it's pronounced Me-ray)

He sighed through his nose, pulling off the note. Now… Keep it, or throw it out?
Hold onto this or do the right thing

John kept it.

(Won’t Pierre have gone back to camp by now?)

Pierre slipped on his boots and joined her outside, enclosing her hand in his.

Ouf, um, yeah prolLy my b a d )

"I missed this." She murmured.

(Oof it’s fine, lol)

“Mm,” he agreed, squeezing her hand,

She leaned her head against his arm.

“How have you been holding up?” Pierre asked, slipping an arm around her and tugging her close.

He sighed through his nose, pulling off the note. Now… Keep it, or throw it out?

John kept it.

(Should we keep going to Peter back at camp, or should we skip to Jane/Simcoe/Chadine?)

"Pensive," she spoke. "About everything.. And.. Going back to war…"

(Okay!)

Jane was reading a book in the sitting room, completely entranced by the words.

Pierre let out his breath. “It’ll be alright.”

"After what happened to Cruz, I'm just…" She shook her head slowly.

A knock at the door plucked her from her trance.

Jane sighed reluctantly and slipped a bookmark into her book as she stood and headed to the door. She took a deep breath to compose herself, then opened it.
