It's been two months since he left. I'd like to say everyday it gets easier but I hate sleeping alone. I know I should be used to it. It's different this time. When he was in training, I knew he was coming back. Now... I don't know if he will or not.
Steve left as well. He got some opportunity to be a soldier so I haven't seen him since. It's lonely without them.
My routine is monotonous. I wake up, eat, get dressed, go to my job (I'm a nurse), then go home. On the weekend, I go to the store or go see a movie with Grace. She's been keeping me company but it's not the same.
I miss him. I miss his hugs, laugh, smile... I can barely sleep at night. I cuddle with his pillow and always sleep in his shirt. His ring hangs around my neck and I kiss it every morning and night. He hasn't sent any letters and I can't, since I'm not sure where he's at.
I've even found myself missing Steve. He's been with me through alot so I see him as a brother now. But I know he's happy. I remember the day he came running inside, telling me he got enlisted. Some scientific opportunity, I honestly don't know.
I just hope I see them again soon.

"Can't sleep?" Dr. Erskine asks.
"Got the jitters, I guess." He sits across from me, a bottle in his hand.
"Me too." He smiles.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Just one?"
"Why me?" I ask. It's a question I've been wanting answered since he found me.
"I suppose that is the only question that matters." He motions for me to grab some glasses. I hand them over as he starts speaking again. "Made in Augsburg. My city. So many forget that the first country the Nazi's invaded was their own. I don't excuse what my people have become. After the first war, my people struggled... they felt weak, small. Then hitler comes with big show, the marching. He finds me. Heard of my work. You, he says, will make us strong." He sighs.
