"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough."

♣♣♣

Aaron was currently with Monique. With her french accent sometimes kicking in he enjoyed being around her though it was hard for him to sometimes understand her, often she would curse in french too which he found all too precious and admired. Under her breath her favourite curse was "putain de baise" which he came to learn meant "fucking fuck". Though Aaron recalled a time when the two were walking and a man from another division in the UK army had called out to her.

"Hey good looking, wanna grab a drink ? You look like you'd be a good night." He had yelled from where he stood with his friends.

As Aaron told Monique to ignore it, he saw her hands balled into a fist as they shook by her sides.

"Sale cochon c'est pas moyen de parler à une femme qui va te botter le cul !" She screamed in his direction before turning back to Aaron and carrying on their way.

Later on he found out this meant she was calling him a dirty pig and saying how it was no way to speak to a woman. Aaron admired the small fire within the girl.

He watched her as she held the sniper in her hands, one eye closed as the other focussed down the sight of the gun. Finally Monique took in a deep breath before she shot the sniper. A grin wiping across her face as she hit the target made for her. Aaron nodded at her before signalling for her to move to the next target which was much further away than the one she had just shot.

But just as she was getting ready to shoot he held up her hand for her to stop so she did, straightening her back and holding the sniper lightly as she turned to him. His eyes were trained back up the road they had come down from, so she followed his gaze. Men stood watching in uniforms. Monique swallowed her mind switching to think it was those Englishmen from the day that she cursed them out in French before she realised it was the American uniform they were wearing. Relief struck her before she relaxed.

"Who is it, Lieutenant Kurn ?" Monique asked softly.

"Stay here I will go see." Aaron nodded towards her before marching up.

After he got to the top of the hill he was introduced to Sobel and his men. Stood before him was the NCO's of Easy company. They seemed like fine men and he hoped they would take care of the girls he trained. He asked them to stay where they were and to watch the sniper he was currently training, asking Captain Sobel to accompany him down to meet the sniper.

Monique watched as Aaron returned to their position with another man who seemed strict like Captain Dorn had been on the women back in Winchester. She bit her lip and squinted to get a better look at him before they had fully returned to her position. A smile came onto her face as she outreached her hand for him to shake but the man slightly looked at it before looking her in the eyes causing her hand to lower back onto her sniper.
