“He’s called up every day this week to see if you’ve got home,” says Millie. “I guess they want you back at the bank.”<\/p>\n
“He wants me to drop in and talk about it,” says Al.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“You’re not going to work right away?” says Millie. “You ought to rest awhile, take a vacation.”<\/p>\n
“I got to make money,” says Al. “Last year, it was ‘kill Japs’ and this year it’s ‘make money.'”<\/p>\n
“We’re all right for the time being,” says Millie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Why do they have to bother me with problems like that the first day I get home? Why can’t they give a fellow time to get used to his own family?” Al turns around and looks at Millie. “Why don’t you come over here and sit down?”<\/p>\n
“Chair’s liable to break,” says Millie, sitting on his lap.<\/p>\n
“We can’t be worrying about chairs,” says Al. “Not when they want me back at a Nice Fat Job, at a Nice Fat Bank!”<\/p>\n
“You don’t seem very happy about it,” says Millie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I’m not,” says Al.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Why not, darling?” asks Millie.<\/p>\n
“I can’t help thinking about the other guys,” says Al, grimly. “All the ones who haven’t got you.” he smiles at her. She pinches his cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“You’re crazy,” says Millie, smiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“No,” says Al. “Too sane for my own good.” Millie puts her hand on his chin, turns his head, and kisses him.<\/p>\n\n\n
