Veronica's Husband
"Congratulations, Lieutenant Colonel May," Lieutenant Colonel Hodges said reluctantly two days later. "You've passed your evaluation with flying colors."
Rukelion knew he would but it was a relief all the same. Now he could potentially ask for the time off he needed. He knew it might be pushing things considering he was already taking a day off for Conrad's wedding but General Pace should understand that much since he used to be his lieutenant.
"It is all due to your teachings," he said humbly to get the man off his back.
This mollified Hodges slightly and he let Rukelion go. The first thing he did once he was free was head to General Pace's office. The sooner he got that day off approved the better.
"Who is it?" the general barked.
"Lieutenant Colonel May, sir. May I speak with you for a moment?"
"Oh, May! Of course. Come in."
