asked.

won't,” said Zacharias in a husky voice.
“I'd love to see you again before | leave.” Shirley bit her lip. Richard was in a hurry, though. They had to leave by six, so she
wouldn't be able to do that.
“Go to the base with your folks, alright? I'll see you there after Christmas.” “Really?” Shirley asked, surprised.

Back at Zacharias’ office, Zacharias put his phone down and heaved a sigh.
