Hartwell, usually the refined gentleman, grabbed Wesley's collar and shouted,
“Then why did you turn her down?”
Wesley calmly shook off the fuming man. He took another drag on his cigarette,
and said calmly, “You know I'm a soldier. I won't give my career up for a woman.
My life’s in danger all the time. On any given mission, I might not come back. So
where does that leave her? She's a straight-A student with a bright future. She
deserves a better guy.
It's not fair to her.” She once told him she was willing to give up her studies for
him. He didn't like that. The chance to study abroad didn’t come along every day.
He'd feel bad for her for the rest of his life if she did that. He didn’t want her to
make any sacrifices for him.
He thought about saying yes. About giving in to his urges and becoming her
boyfriend. And he would wait here while she was overseas. They could get
married when she came back. But what if he died? He didn’t want her to be sad
at all, so he decided to put those thoughts aside.
What Wesley said convinced Hartwell.
He was a man and once served in the military too. He understood what
Wesley was saying.
Wesley was due for a promotion soon, and he also had a bright future.
“Listen, I know Blair pretty well. If she made up her mind to be with you, she’s
already thought it through. She decided to accept the risk.
Since she’s not afraid, what are you afraid of?” Hartwell asked in confusion.
Wesley Looked him in the eye and answered honestly, “I'm afraid of letting her
down. I can’t be the ideal boyfriend. So it's better if I don't say yes.”
Hartwell wanted to press the issue, but decided better of it. He didn’t want to
interfere in their relationship.
“You turned her down. Now live with it. Don’t play games with her or get her
hopes up. Just leave her alone,” he warned.
“I know.” Wesley thought he could do it.
When they returned to the private room, Blair and Niles were bantering back and
forth.

“You're such a sissy. You won't even try fish eyes,”
Blair taunted.
Niles puffed his chest up and retorted, “Taste is subjective. You don't eat
everything put in front of you, either. Are you perfect? Uh-huh.
Didn't think so.”
“Actually, I am perfect,” Blair answered.
At this, Niles pretended to sneeze. It sounded suspiciously like
“bullshit,” however. Adalson cast a warning glance in his direction.
