we keep this love in a photograph

When Jennie meets Rosie, a soldier home on leave as she waits for her next deployment, at a local coffee shop one afternoon, her life is completely tipped upside down in an instant. As they start talking, Jennie feels drawn to Rosie; there's something about her warmth and openness that fills the gap left by Jennie's troubled childhood.

Growing closer over the next few months, falling fast for each other, the two of them find themselves unable to stay away, but Rosie's next deployment is inevitable, and with promises that she'll come home, Jennie waits for her.
