Peace

Continuing to just look back at Jared Grace held her smile as she let him search her eyes. She didn't mind it, not one bit. She liked being able to look back into his own and see the depth of him. Yes there were many things in his life that had been wrong but there were going to be so many things that would turn out right. A past did not define a person it was what they did to change the wrong that made them who there were. She really believed that anyone could change there way with a little extra help from God and a push in the right direction.

   "I forgive you Jared, and I really dont want to stop coming either. Sooner or later, your going to end up hurting me, and I am going to end up hurting you. It's part of life and we all make mistakes because we are not perfect. But you want to know what the best part is? Making up and learning, growing together and not doing it again."

Grace's smile grew just a little bit more. Jared was special to her for one reason or another. She enjoyed his company, the light that shown in his eyes, and the conversation she had with him. He was special, and she was so glad she got to know the true him.

   "Well...I am happy I get to be the first in the new circle of friends oh Mr. Jared Hawks. It's an honor, and privilege. If you want when you can finally get out of here...I know a good place on Sunday we can go and I can guarantee you will leave having made some new friends..sound like a plan?"

And Grace did know a good place to go for fellowship, and to meet new people. She wouldn't push church on Jared right away but he church was having a lunch in after service and everyone was welcome. Grace would be more than happy coming to get Jared and bringing him to fellowship too.

 Misty can't help but laugh. She new Clay was going to fit in fine with the other guys. They were always open to meeting new people and being able to take a joke was a must. Seeing Clay could Misty new it would be fine.

About to say something else Misty stops as Jason comes into the infirmary. Giving a little laugh as he relizes that he'd just barged in Misty can't help but shake her head and roll her own eyes. It was really normal for people to just come walking into the infirmary but she couldn't help but wonder what outsiders thought sometimes. 

   "Uh huh.."

Looking back to Clay and his question Misty grins.  She always did enjoy introducing Jason to other people who asked. She was just proud to say he was her. He had good looks, a sense of humor, and was so very kind. It was hard to not enjoy it.

   "That would be my boyfriend. His name is Jason and his bark is worse than his bite."

Coming up along side his nephew and looking out into the dark Wes enjoyed the quiet, the soft sounds, and the noice even the wind made. It was comforting, a blanket, it the quiet to him meant everything was ok.

   "I've learned to cherish the quiet more than I once did. Being on the battle field silence is something you don't get and when you do, its only the quiet before the storm. The sounds of guns, screams, bombs, and men groaning in pain becomes normal."

Sometimes when Wes closed his eyes hear could still hear all those sounds, smell the blood, see the faces of his men. It was clear as day, but opening them again the silence, the safty, the dark of the ranch it was his comfort in knowing he was far away from that now, he was safe.

   "It really is good to be home."
