" baby... We need to talk..." Rian seated me on the bed, " something has come up...." He continued. My heard was pounding, I've never seen him this serious before. He cleared his throat "..... I've been stationed to Afghanistan...." My heart dropped, I couldn't breath, i couldn't see.... Everything around me was getting dizzy. " f-for how l-long..." I managed to say. " 14 months..." I couldn't believe my ears, was this a dream? He held me tight. " will you wait for me?" His eyes were fully focused on me. Yes! Yes of course baby I would wait for you, forever and always! But I couldn't get myself to speak, like something was blocking out air. He wrapped his arms around me, held me tightly to his chest " forever and always..." I choked out.
