Salute To The General

Penny asked softly, "Hubby, what is it?"

Nathan replied, "It's nothing. I just feel a niggling sense of dread. Nevertheless, I hope it's just my imagination. Since the winds are strong at night, you should go back inside and rest." Penny agreed, "Mmm-hmm."

It wasn't until Penny had finally fallen asleep that Nathan left without a sound and came up to the deck.
