Her heart pounding, Macy stared at it. She didn’t want to touch that envelope. It was impossible that it could contain anything that had to do with her—Finn is dead! He’s dead, he’s dead! The officer shifted slightly, moving the envelope closer to her, and Macy reluctantly took it. Her hands were shaking so badly she could hardly open it; the envelope fluttered to the ground as she unfolded the letter.
“Ma’am, if I may,” the officer said. “The secretary of defense regrets to inform you that we have made a gross error in concluding Sergeant Finn Lockhart was killed in action because he has indeed been found alive. On June eighteen, at oh two hundred hours…”
Macy never heard the rest of what he said. She couldn’t breathe, she couldn’t speak, and everything began to swirl around her. The last thing Macy saw was Lt. Colonel Dan Freeman lurching forward to catch her as she melted.
