The base settles into a deep quiet at eight o'clock on a Saturday night. Most of the men are out, leaving the barracks hollow and still. The flicker of overhead fluorescents is the only movement as you find yourself humming, then softly singing a tune, your voice the sole sound in the vast silence.

He leans a shoulder against the frame, arms folded, and listens, a faint, private smile touching his lips as he watches you.
