-Y/Ns pov-

"Peggy said something about you needing her so I wanted to see if everything's alright."
Gently my brother kneels next to me and I turn to look at him.

A proud smile fills my face.
"You did it, Steven. I mean I knew you would but... It worked."

Peggy closes the door and I can see the worried look on Stevens face.
"I've never seen you like this. What happened?"

"You don't have to talk about it, Y/N."
My best friend smiles at me, knowing that I haven't told Steven about me and James.

"It gets on my nerves that you don't have your best friend around, that's all. But I guess that will change now."
I poke his now muscular shoulder. Why I'm still lying to Steven is a mystery I might never solve but here I am, not telling him how much I like and miss James.

"Well, they're not sending me to the front."

"They're dumb."

He smiles.
"That's my little sister."

Proudly I hug him and feel his arms squeezing me. Throwbacks to James strike my mind but I swallow the tears. 

Meanwhile Peggy sees the file on my desk.
"Are you leaving?"

Steven let's go off me and I nod, pulling my best friend into a hug.
"I love you two. Don't do anything I wouldn't do and tell me about your relationship."

I wink at Steven and break the hug with Peggy. Then I start packing my stuff and say my last goodbyes.

Weeks fly by, I attend a lot of events in hope to find the man I was send out to find. Writing letters and reports became a daily thing, then finally I spot him. 

My dress flatters my curves and a man approaches me.

"Well if that isn't missy."

I turn around to the familiar voice and raise my eyebrow at the man I once slammed onto a table in a pub. I simply smile at him.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in Brooklyn, crying about something, missy?"

I act like this situation makes me really uncomfortable and my target spots us.

"Not so tough anymore, huh? Bet they teached you some manners."

"Ah, there you are, honey. I looked for you everywhere. Thought I lost my beauty for a moment. You forgot your ring in the car."
My target, Robert Williams, looks the man from the pub up and down, then holds out his hand.
"How can we help you?"

As my target takes my hand and puts a ring into it, the man from the pub looks forth and back between us.

"Don't worry, my dear."
Gently I put my hand on Williams' and smile at him.
"He's none of your concern. Just someone I slammed on a table a year ago."
Then I slide the ring on my ringfinger. It feels wrong but if I don't go with it it would look suspicious.
"Thank you for getting my ring. Sometimes when I'm near you I forget it."

As fast as he can without being disrespectful the man leaves us alone. I start pulling the ring off again, but Williams puts his hand on mine.
"Leave it on and return it to me before you leave. Just in case. I'm Robert Williams."
He steps back from me, allowing me to eye him up. Surprisingly he's very handsome.

"Mary Jones. Thank you for your help."
I know it's wrong, but I smile at him.

His green eyes try to read me and I show him what he would like to see. A damsel in distress.
"Are you alone?"

"At this event? Yes. Mother told me to attend this as my brother is at the front and she doesn't like me to see her worry."

He chuckles and holds out his hand. 
"Mary Jones, would you do me the honor and dance with me?"

Alright, I don't want to execute you so I guess I don't have a choice.

"After being safed by you? It would be a pleasure."
I slide my hand into his and he softly leads me towards the dance floor.
