Desmond knew that there was little chance of him being home next year but still he nodded, he saw that she hoped for an early return and didn't want her to lose that. "yeah i hope so.." he was enjoying talking to her. " you are pretty cool too..." he said smiling and then noticed her shivering. " ya might want to put some extra clothes on or ya gonna catch some bad cold ya know...i would have offered ya my jacket if i wasn't a mean mother fucker.." he winked at her and laughed a bit.
