She knew the day she gave up on the notion of him bugging her.

She could pinpoint it exactly.

But she didn’t know the date.

No, this was more like how she knew she could hack it as a soldier the day she didn’t vomit when the guts of the guy next to her landed in her hair.

This was something she remembered by an action.

So, when Kaylee asked her one night, in a fit of nostalgia, how she knew she’d marry Wash, Zoe told her the truth.

She knew the day she bought that gorram awful tropical shirt.
