Chapter 1195 The Bitch And The Asshole:>Ep7

• After an hour of "conversation," carried mostly by her, I started to get a strange feeling. While I'm definitely no psychologist, psychology is part of the training for Pararescue since many people needing to be rescued do weird things. Before an hour of "conversation" was up I got the feeling that Allegra acted haughty to hide her insecurities. Once I confirmed that in my mind during another ten minutes of conversation I did something that I never thought that I'd do -- be nice to Allegra.
• When there was a brief interruption of her stream of consciousness I went and sat next to her and held one of her hands and put my arm around her shoulder. "Allegra, let me tell you some things that I've found out about you since you arrived last night. Listen to me without interruption until I'm finished, will you?"
• "OK," she said -- wide-eyed.
