"four months, just to blow away these stupid nazi's, and the i'll be back" harold said confidently.
"i will miss you, harold" curtis said quietly, squeezing harold's hand tighter.
"i will miss you too, curtis" harold whispered, on the verge of tears. 'oh why did I sign up for this?' harold thought to himself as he stared into curtis' beautiful chocolate brown eyes.
