Rejection

So I am at the point in my book where Lt Cross meets up with the author and they have a drunken get together and remember all the happenings of the war. Including the LT's love Martha who he is still madly in love with even though she finds him creepy even if honest. Even after she gives him a firm ultimatum he still cannot get her out of his mind. What a loser. Just get over the women and go hook up with some broad. I am not sure if Martha is gay or not. She could very well be judging by her apparent lack of interest in the male of the species. Sucks for the LT, looks like a chronic case of blue balls will be the lasting chapter in his life.
