Chapter 6 - Kneeling on the Tarmac
"Evelyn!" Julian screamed at the top of his lungs, breaking through the perimeter line before two armed Military Police officers intercepted him, grabbing his arms. "Evelyn! Stop! Please! Look at me!"
Evelyn turned slowly. Her expression under her military cap was smooth, distant, and unshakeable.
She gestured slightly to the Military Police officers, who released Julian’s arms but remained standing inches away, their hands resting on their sidearms.
Julian stumbled forward across the hot asphalt, his shoes skidding to a halt five feet away from her. The wind from the Black Hawk’s spinning blades whipped through his hair. Behind him, a second car pulled up—his parents and Chloe had followed him to the tarmac, watching the scene in absolute shock from behind the security fence.
Overwhelmed by shame, financial ruin, and the realization of what he had thrown away, Julian’s knees buckled.
He fell heavily onto the hard tarmac, kneeling in his expensive grey suit right at her feet.

"Evelyn! You're a Colonel?!" Julian yelled desperately, tears streaming down his cheeks as he held his hands out in a pleading gesture. "Why didn't you tell me?! I was wrong! Chloe lied to me—the baby isn't mine! Please tear up those custody papers! Come home! We can be a family again!"
