They think they can cure everything with a great big kiss,

Secretaries gathered at a back corner table in the commissary, their voices hushed.

“I don’t get these agents, thinking they can love us and leave us, it’s not right.”

“You’re new here. The guys go out on missions and sometimes don’t come back, they live for today. Don’t you get it?”

you were trying to sacrifice, or immolate them,

“What about us, we have feelings. I mean Napoleon is a dream, but he’s dumped on me a few times.”

“I should be so lucky,” another said, “He can dump on me any time.”

"What about the Russian?"

“Why good afternoon,” they all crooned back, blushing at being caught in their conversation.

“Oh my Gawd, “ one giggled, “They’re so....cute.”

“We can hear you ladies,” Napoleon called out. “And that’s handsome...”

A fit of nervous laughter stopped their chatter.

Napoleon’s comment had silenced their gossiping...for now.
