When the love of his life dies in battle, Dimitri has to learn to cope. But can he look past his grief to move on without her?

With no hope of rescue, Dimitri only has one phone call he needs to make.

UPDATE: Since the author has been out of touch with this story, she has decided to re-write it with added scenes. This version will be posted separately, under the title: "These are the Best Years of Your Life." Please feel free to read this version, but be aware that no updates will be added. When Abe Mazur purchased a group of flats so that Rose and Lissa could room together in college, Dimitri never dreamed he'd be offered a spot rooming with Christian. He also didn't anticipate the tension between himself and Rose, but after what happened over the summer, what else could he expect?

Rose and Dimitri had accepted the fact that they would never have biological children. So when Rose comes home with some pretty shocking news, they're left to deal with the aftermath. Will it tear them apart or will it make their relationship stronger than ever?

When Rose not-so-gracefully almost falls in the icy parking lot, she almost crashes and burns, but instead, something amazing happens, she meets Dimitri.

Rose doesn't always make the smartest choices...like trying to climb out of a second story window drunk so that she doesn't get caught out after curfew. And...all too often...it's Dimitri that is left to take care of her and make sure she doesn't get herself into more trouble.
