Ryan pushed himself harder than his rehab team advised, but he would get fit, even if the army was lost to him. He paused, treading water when he realised he was being watched, before making for the steps and the man waiting for him.
“You're looking well, Captain.”
Ryan shook his head as he peered up at his former boss. “I'm not coming back.”
“I'm not allowed to visit to see how you are?”
Ryan hauled himself out of the water, his limp apparent as he hobbled towards the changing room. “You never do anything without an ulterior motive, sir.”
