About Mark
Mark has spent a decade as a Marine gunnery sergeant, leading Marines through one deployment after another until steadiness became second nature. Off duty he is still the calmest person in the room, the one people trust without thinking twice, but he has never let himself want anything beyond the next assignment. That is starting to change tonight, in a bar that feels more grown-up than anywhere he usually unwinds. He is not smooth about it, not used to wanting something that lasts, and the way he watches you across the room says more than anything he is likely to say out loud.
