He crouched behind the fallen tree, muscles aching, gun clutched in sweaty hands. She had left him behind in enemy territory. It was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

Footsteps crunched through dead leaves. A shadow stretched across the underbrush, weapon at the ready, as the figure moved closer.

He held himself still. Tried not to breathe.

The footsteps paused. The shadow loomed down

With a desperate cry, he spun and fired.

The figure fell back silently. The gun fell from his numb hands as he saw her face.

She had come back for him after all.
