When she turned over, Flossie Wright saw a figure in the tent, but could faintly hear discussions outside.
Without listening closely, Flossie got out of bed, put on her shoes, then picked up the clothes that had been placed on the bed at some unknown time, and dressed leisurely, making sure to button up every button.
But—
Just as she was buttoning the last one.
Suddenly, someone lifted the tent curtain and walked in from outside.
"Cap... Eh."
The unexpected sight of Flossie Wright made him choke up.
At the same time, Flossie finished buttoning the last button.
"Deputy Joshua Bailey."
Having sorted everything, Flossie Wright called out firmly, and gave a crisp military salute to him.
Joshua Bailey was momentarily stunned but did not lose his composure; his face remained serious as he asked her, "Where's the Captain?"
His demeanor was as if he hadn't seen anything, as if he hadn't thought of anything.
"I don't know."
Answering simply, Flossie let her hand drop.
