Walter is a military lawyer. Perfectly suited to his character. He doesn't break any rules and is fabulous at enforcing them. And, he likes everything in perfect order. (I don't know what I was thinking with me being the most random, squiggly-personality-type person...)
Anyway, he was having a very stressful week at work about two weeks before I was meant to visit. I could do very little from afar besides our evening conversations, so I decided it was time to send something to his workplace to cheer him up. Chocolate strawberries would do the trick!
I arranged the delivery and wrote a note:
Dear Major Walter,
Just wanted to make you smile!
take care,
xo
To ensure it would be a surprise, I looked up the address online and sent them off.
When the strawberries arrived, they somehow ended up in the wrong office...the Chief's office! The Chief brought them down to Walter's office and grilled him on who is 'xo' (executive officer, second in command) was. Walter was hazed for awhile and before I knew it, I was known in his office as 'the XO'.
