Being married to a soldier was no easy thing. Aaron worried you all the time…mainly when he was away fighting..but now as well. He often went out with his ‘buddies’, a group of unruly gentlemen you had only met once. That evening, you had been unable to fall asleep. You decided to sit up and wait for your husband to return. While waiting, you read, and finished up anything you had needed to do..then he walked in. You noticed the obvious sway he attempted to hide behind a smile. He sat down in one of the chairs, telling you some slightly slurred story about a man he just met named Alexander. You let him finish his story before you spoke up. “Are you drunk?” you asked him, knowing he wouldn’t tell you directly “Perhaps not.” he said, clearly not thinking right as he responded..though you found his answer to be rather funny
