Love Beyond Time – Nancy Campbell Allen

“Feel free to jump in, though, if I start floundering too badly.” She managed a smile. “When I finish here Pll see if] can help Dr. Davis with anything.” A young boy who didn’t look a day older than sixteen years inter- rupted them. He approached Tyler and saluted. “Sir? Some of the men over here are having a problem.”

Amber smiled. The men in the regiment were coming to Tyler for help with problems and concerns. He had natural abilities as a leader and was more approachable than the general, despite the harsh front that Amber noticed Tyler tried so desperately to maintain. “Where’s your squadron leader?” Tyler asked the boy gently. The young soldier cleared his throat. “I am the squadron leader, sir.”

Amber watched Tyler walk with the soldier and wondered how it would have been to meet him under normal circumstances, in their own time. As she folded her tent and observed the other soldiers around her, she realized with dismay that she was the only one with a cot. Everyone else slept in bedrolls on the ground.

She hastily snatched up the cot and rushed to the medical tent where Dr. Davis and the medical team’s four other physicians were preparing to travel. She hadn’t encountered any open hostility or animosity from the four other men, thanks to Dr. Davis’ intervention, but she had felt their stares and their reservations as she worked alongside them.

“Td like to donate this.” She extended the cot to Dr. Davis. “I’m sure we’ll find a use for it when the time comes.” Davis seemed surprised. “Isn’t it yours? I understand the general put you in one of the larger tents usually reserved for high-ranking officers.”

Amber flushed. “I don’t need it.” Davis accepted the cot from her. “Thank you, Dr. Saxton.” She smiled at the major. “You’ve known me for several days now and have found me to be a competent colleague, I believe. It may not be altogether proper, but I really wish you would call me Amber.” “Well, in that case, you must call me James.”

Tyler made his way through throngs of soldiers on his way to the medical station. He needed to be sure Amber was doing well and was ready to move out with the rest of the regiment. You know shes fine, his thoughts mocked him as he walked. You’re looking for excuses to see her. “Well, why shouldn’t I?” he muttered aloud, eliciting stares from those he passed.

He clamped his mouth shut. Why shouldn’t I? He mentally repeat- ed the thought. She was beautiful, brilliant, and funny.
