Sergeant Alexander Castlerook wasn’t very happy with the corporal. His frustration wasn’t completely unwarranted; after all, Honour Bound had never really flat-out refused his offer to go back to Fillydelphia. She’d been waffling, sure, and she’d mentioned wanting to finish her tour of duty with the Royal Engineer, yes, but she hadn't said 'no'. Which meant he was well within his rights to think she was going to say 'yes'.
