"We're headed for the base. We were about to call Mark, have him meet us here. But we saw you first." Evidently, Kevin was surprised at seeing them there. Daisy lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

"No need to call Mark. We can take my car back." Kevin was curious why she was reporting for duty before the end of her holiday. Wasn't her husband the CEO of FX International Group? Why didn't her husband send a car for her to go back to the base in?

"Major Kevin, are you busy now? I don't want to impose." Daisy had a thought: this might interfere with his duties.

"Nothing important or urgent. I was just hanging out when I saw you." Kevin was out of sorts. He didn't like the distance between them, or her coldness.

"Ok. Thank you." Daisy, as aloof as she was, could feel that something was wrong. She felt the tension when Kevin looked at her. She thought it was better if she brushed him off and was only cordial to him.

Kevin was about to say something and thought better of it. He closed his eyes briefly. Then, he picked up Justin in his arms and headed for his car. He looked like a man defeated.
