(Story) U-46 puts to sea again

At the Champs Elysee we got an outside table straight away. A miracle in itself. I'd like to think it was my dashing uniform and medal ribbon, but this being Paris, much more likely that I had two beautiful girls in company, and perfect French window dressing in the Maitre de's eyes..

I can't help thinking of what happened at the Sacre Couer. And that unspoken gesture, and look in her eyes.

Heidi is literally holding a candle for me. She's made a commitment.

Snap decisions are what u-boat commanders do best. At least the lucky ones.

"Will you excuse me a minute, girls?" and moments later I was standing bewildered outside a shop window.

And then back again to the table.

"Josie, can I borrow you for a moment?"

Both girls looked up in surprise.

"Are we getting silk stockings...!" Josie exclaimed as I hustled her away before Heidi had a chance to speak.

"I need your opinion, Josie", as we went into the jewellers shop.
