Chad’s nostrils flared and his blue eyes narrowed dangerously "Not funny, assmunch First, I know Josie would never cheat on me, especially not with a twerp like you Second, I talked to her ten ht face when you lie But I’ to hit you really hard the next tiuard"

"Any idea when that will be?"

"Can you keep a secret?" he asked

"Probably not"

"I can keep a secret"

"Yeah, like the time I told you not to tell Josephine Tulane that I had a crush on her"

"That depends," Owen said

"On what?"

"Our current tour ends in September Should I reserve a pass for you before then?" Owen hoped his brother would fall for his attempt to milk him for information

"Yeah, you probably should"

"A couple of months before then?"

"Probably"

"Yes! Are you just returning on leave or--"

"Don’t you watch the news? They’re starting to pull troops out of here"

"No, I don’t watch the news It’s too depressing"

"Still living in your insular world I’d think with as much as you travel around, you’d be a more well-rounded individual"
