We get to the base that we'll be staying at the whole time we're in Iraq. We get our assigned beds, but I get a private room. I set up my picture of Luke on my nightstand and then grab my laptop. I turn it on and go on Skype. I click on Luke's contact and hope that he's still up.
---Luke's POV---
When Reagan's Skype request appears on screen I scream and pull her military t-shirt off of me. The guys already teased me about wearing it. I accept it and soon her beautiful face appears on screen. I wave and she says, "Skywalker this place is so cool! The people are so nice and happy that we're protecting them. It's such an amazing experience!"
"I'm glad Rae! Did you have a good first day?"
"Yep. No sign of ISIS."
"Good. By the way, I got your note. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Figured you'd like it."
We chat for awhile until she says, "I should probably talk to the group about our assignment for tomorrow."
"Okay babe. Stay safe. Love you!"
We blow each other a kiss and sign off. I go to the kitchen and grab a bowl of ice cream, then join the guys in the living room. We're watching the Australia vs. France FIFA game.
