Military Emancipation

Miyuki spoke in perfect English. “I’m sorry he did that to you, but now that puberty is over for him, I’ve explained that the earth isn’t flat, and we all have more in common with each other than we have in opposition. I’m a civil rights lawyer.” She faced Carm and smooched his face.


Carm faced the guys and others watched. “I want to apologize for my past conduct. I had my head up my butt.”

Adam added, “You’re a good guy with a lot of courage. Thanks.”
