Are things. I mean even a Nazi bomber plane has a pilot. These are just things!” She was still shaking. Mark took the glass back and held it for Kiley as she drank some of it.
Debbie and Dallas left the two alone.
“I’m sorry, Kiley,” Mark apologized. “I didn’t realize how upsetting these V2s are for you.”
Kiley laid her head against the pillow on the cot. “Mark, there’s something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about. I thought I should wait until Debbie left, but after this display of temper I think I should discuss it now.

“Certainly,” Mark agreed quickly. He wanted to help calm Kiley down. Talking always seemed to calm Kiley when something was bothering her.
“You’ve been kind in not pressuring me for an answer to your proposal of marriage. I have an answer for you. I’ve had it for several weeks.”
Mark swallowed hard. He held his breath. This was something he was afraid of. He didn’t know how he would handle Kiley’s rejection.
Kiley took Mark’s hand and placed it palm up on her cheek. “I would be honored to be your wife.”
Mark released the breath he was holding in a rush. A grin widened across his lips. “You’ve made me very happy.”
“There’s a catch before you get too happy.”
Mark arched his brow. “A catch?”
“You know I had a very difficult prior marriage. I’ve learned from that mistake. My ex husband told me he needed me and told me he wanted me. He never told me he loved me. You’ve told me you need me. You’ve told me you want me,” Kiley paused. “Mark, do you love me?”
“Kiley, I love you very much. If love means caring for you, missing you when you aren’t near, sharing your smiles and tears, and wanting our worlds to join? Yes, I love you,” Mark answered lovingly. He leaned over so their lips would join. They shared a brief yet sweet kiss. “Thank you for accepting my love and name.”
“My pleasure,” Kiley smiled. “One more thing.”
“Anything,” Mark laughed. “Anything a man is capable of doing.”
“I’d like to marry in Paris.”Done!” Mark exclaimed. “You’ve made me very happy, Kiley.”
“We’ll be here a while. I still hear explosions.”
“You’re right. I might as well get some rest myself.” Mark sprawled out on a cot next to Kiley’s cot. He reached across the space to take her hand in his.
“What are you grinning about?” Kiley teased watching Mark’s smile.
“I like the name?”
“What name?”
“Mrs. Kiley Hauser,” Mark chuckled. “It has a nice ring to it.”
“Yes it does,” Kiley laughed.
“What’s going on?” Debbie asked. “Are you feeling better Kiley?”
“Much better,” Kiley answered. She smiled as Mark released her hand. He seemed a little embarrassed at Debbie’s entrance.
“Sit down Debbie
