This was a great short story and is probably very relevant to quite a few people.  It was easy to read and the character and environment descriptions made me feel like I was right there in the restaurant at Roma's with Jamie and Charlie.  Charlie is a widow and has raised her 17 year old son, Owen, on her own for the last 5 years.  Now he wants to enlist in the Army and she is worried about losing him in Afghanistan or Iraq.  Jamie is the Chief Warrant Office (CWO) recruiting Owen.  Will Jamie quell Charlie's fears?  Will Charlie be able to put aside her doubt and date Jamie?  Will Jamie get redeployed and leave her alone again?  Take your next available lunch hour and find out!
