"Ah, perfect timing! Sweetheart, I would like you to meet Private Four Eaton." I turn around and see a bright pair of familiar blue eyes. It's him.

So this is my first attempt at a Divergent AU. Beatrice Prior is a military brat. She's been all over the world with her father, a General in the Marine Corps. Her father is currently stationed at Camp Lejeune while she attends college. She is unaware that her life is about to take a crazy turn when she takes place in a project to write to military men overseas. This is actually inspired by the true story of how my sister-in-law met her husband. I'm very proud of my brother-in-law who is currently overseas.
