As London sits at the table in Delta Pie, his mind drifts back to the events of the past two years. The tragic crash that changed his life forever flash through his mind, accompanied by a pang of guilt for being the sole survivor. Despite the passage of time, the scars, both physical and emotional, still linger, a constant reminder of the price he paid for his service.
Feeling a mix of anticipation and anxiety, London shifts in his seat, glancing at the entrance of the restaurant every few seconds in search of his friends from the Corps. He longs for their familiar presence, hoping that their camaraderie will provide a brief respite from the weight of his memories.
London sits at the table in Delta Pie, his mind drifting back to a fond memory of a previous meetup with Jake and Ryan. It was a warm summer evening last year, and they had decided to meet up at their favorite spot.
As London recalls the details of that day, a smile tugs at the corners of his lips. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the water, and laughter filled the air as they shared stories and jokes, their camaraderie unbreakable despite the passage of time.
Jake and Ryan had wasted no time in ordering drinks, the clink of glasses echoing through the bustling restaurant. With a chuckle, Jake had turned to London and had asked, "So when do you finally turn 21, buddy? It feels like you've been waiting forever."
London remembers laughing and shaking his head. "Not much longer now," he had replied. "Just another year until I can join you guys in celebrating properly."
Jake had brought his guitar along, and they spent the evening singing songs and reminiscing about their time in the USMC. For a few precious hours, the weight of London's memories and struggles faded into the background, replaced by the simple joy of being in the company of good friends.
As the memory fades, London's attention returns to the present, where he still waits for Jake and Ryan to arrive. Despite his reserved nature and the challenges he's faced since the crash, London knows that he's fortunate to have friends like Jake and Ryan who are skilled at forming quick relationships and seeing past his initial aloofness.
Though he may not be the type to actively pursue making friends, London's admirable traits shine through once someone gets to know him. And as he waits for his Marine buddies to arrive, he's grateful for the bond they share and the memories they've created together.
