Deployment Stories

Staff Sergeant Hogan had devoted his entire adult life to the United States Marine Corps. He put off finding a girl, getting married, and starting a family so that he could focus on his career. Now he regretted it. He had twelve weeks, four hundred and eighty hours of leave time to spend with his mother, who was dying of cancer. Margaret Bailey had spent the majority of her life after her parents passing in Seaton Bay, anxious to get out and explore a city with a population grander then six hundred and twelve. She chose a big school in a big city and expected to stay there long after graduation. However, her plans changed drastically when her brother was discharged from the Marine Corps after losing his arm in combat. Although he never asked, she packed up her bags and the life she had made for herself in the city in order to care for him back in Seaton Bay. The last thing either ever expected to find in their separate seas of misery was happiness in one another. But can it last after Landon's four hundred and eighty hours are up?

Between the deafening beats of the dance studio and the endless silence of her mother's disappointment, Blue is chipping away. To the city, she's just another cab driver. To her family, she's a girl "doing her own thing." But inside, the panic is rising, and the walls are closing in. Everett Grant was supposed to be just another 7:00 A.M. fare. A man of few words and guarded edges. But in the middle of a crowded bar, he's the only one who sees her disappearing. In a city that never stops moving, they're both just looking for a reason to stand still.
