Laura’s POV:
“Jimmy, are we too young?” I ask my boyfriend, now fiancé, James Miller. I am Laura Gilbert and I just turned 18 yesterday.
“No, baby, we aren’t. I love you so much.” He kisses me and I smile.
“Then why are you leaving?” I ask him and he gets serious.
“I love you and I will be home in a year; we’ll get married then.” He promises me and I kiss him.
“Do you promise?” I ask him.
“Of course I do.” He tells me.
“Then go protect the country, my military man.”
“I’ll be back before you can blink.” He tells me and is gone too soon. One more year.
