Chapter 1
She’s not sure when they really moved in together. It was never an official thing more a gradual where their stuff just ended up in the same apartment, well her apartment since it was cleaner. She knew him inside and out. How she missed the fact that he could (and did) still have his uniforms from his military days she doesn’t know. She knew intellectually he had a military background, but it never really clicked in her mind military equaled uniforms. She only found them because she noticed the garment bag in the back of the closet she’d never seen before. Being who she was she opened it and just about freaked out.
What she found were pristine uniforms from his military service. As she flipped through them she could just imagine him in them. Probably because it was an easy jump from the suits he wears everyday to the uniform she was staring at. As she was putting them away a flash of dark color caught her eye.
“Oh wow!” She’d found his dress uniform. All his medals were still there.
“Hey Darcy, how…” He paused at the door. “Ah so you found my old uniforms?”
“Hey Phil! When did these arrive?”
“Ah well, last week. I started going through my storage unit and brought them over.”
“Bet you looked hot in your uniform. Huh, didn’t know you could still blush.”
