Page 34 of The Flyboy's Girl
“You girls take your time. Ruby would you like to stay for dinner?”
“Oh, thank you Mrs. Bishop, but I think Mom already has something started.”
Following Millie to her room, she closes the door behind me and asks, “Is that a letter from Paul?”
“Yes,” I practically sing in delight. “Millie, he said he might be home in time for Christmas!”
“What? Ruby that’s wonderful!”
“I know! He said they’ve been working extra hours a day so they can finish early before the holiday. There’s still a chance he won’t be here for Christmas, but he’ll definitely be here for New Year’s Eve.
“Oh Ruby, I’m so happy for you. I know you’ve missed him terribly.”
“I have, but once he’s back we won’t have to keep things secret. We’re going to tell my parents and start planning our future. And I’ll officially be a Flyboy’s girl.”
