Wow, what a way for a soldier's sister to introduce herself to his friend. Now, he'd better take good care of his comrade in arms. This is a great hook. I'd love to hear the rest of the story.

Thank you so much for the rave review. I would like to expand this story someday, but (spoiler coming) it would likely have a sad ending. Rod
Comment from Goodadvicechan
This is a loving and caring story. The scene is moving seeing a brother off.
War is horrible. It can separate family, brothers and sisters etc.
Happy writing.

Thank you so much, Gypsy, for the rave review.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written hundred word dash about the first unexpected kiss between strangers can lead to future events if both are willing to take things one-step further.

Comment from Sugarray77
I loved reading this and the cuteness you added by having Katie kiss Jake. You added resonating points... family bonds, soldiers off to a war zone, and reminiscing about romantic episodes of old. You are so adept at this form of writing, Rod.. well done!!

Wow! What a grand way to begin a new week. I am so pleased you enjoyed my short-short, Melissa, and truly appreciate all the kudos and bright stars. Thank you very much.
Comment from LisaMay
This is a very touching story of soldierly brotherhood and a sister's concern for her brother's well-being... relief that she had a promise from Jake that he'd look out for her brother, so the kiss was a reward... or maybe the beginning of a romance.

With as many deployments I went to for my brother during the
Vietnam War, and then for my husband when he was assigned
to a ship as a medic while in the Navy, I can see this scenario
happening. This is the most realistic entry in this contest I have
read so far. Good luck!
