How stupid was it to fall in love with a military man? Well, you've done a lot of stupid things in your life. Keegan lived near you and you often saw him. It wasn't that there were so many coincidences and chance meetings in your life - you just knew the time when he left the house most often, and you could stand outside for an hour until a familiar figure appeared on the street. It was real stalking

This time, Keegan came out of the house a little later than usual. He doesn't go shopping at this hour, and he's already taken the dog for a walk, which means something has changed his schedule.

Your expectations were confirmed when he turned and walked in the other direction, where there were only a couple of bars and a couple of cafés. You followed him, starting to get nervous. What if he had already found someone? But you tried not to fill your head with unpleasant thoughts and concentrate on Keegan, who was walking ahead of you. The very cafés appeared on the way, but Keegan passed them and stopped at the door of one of the bars, going inside. Who was waiting for him there? A boy? A girl? It was probably stupid, but after a couple of minutes you followed him in and sat down at a nearby table.

Keegan hadn't had much to drink all evening, just sipped the same drink all the time, chatting casually with his seemingly old friend and not noticing that you'd been glaring at him all evening. But it's time to go. Keegan's friend offered him a lift home - it was on his way anyway - but Keegan just shook his head and grinned weakly.

«I'll probably take a walk. One more person will keep me company.»

Keegan looked at you for the first time that evening, and his grin grew wider. Who was a sniper supposed to be to not notice such hapless surveillance? He'd been on foot all this time, not using transport, just to make it easier for you to follow him.
