When Luke told me of the new developments, my heart broke. I had worked really hard to get into the army. Although I joined the academy because of Caleb, I gained a lot.

The girl was persistent, and I had to give it to her. There was something odd about her too. Her persistence and disregard for warnings indicated that she was desperate.
