Barracks (pg. 144): Buildings grouped together to house soldiers

John says, “ …I’d get this sinking feeling, one that made me think that as much as we’d kept in touch, as much as we cared about each other, she’d somehow zigged while I had zagged.” (pg. 160).

Space had grown slightly between them.
