One word.
Fear.
Fear I won¿t make it home.
Fear I¿ll never make it back state side.
And fear I¿ll never feel again the way Jolene Stewart makes me crave her next touch like I¿m a fein needing my
next fix.
She¿s my kryptonite.
My vice.
The one thing that makes me secretly wish for tomorrows and forever afters when all I¿ve ever done is serve.
Give without even a thought for my fellow man and country.
But now, all I want is to stay with her and her daughter in this new world and home we¿ve somehow created together.
But when her past comes calling and my next tour has me leaving the two girls I love more than anything with the fear I won¿t return, will she wait for me?
Or will giving my heart away be worse than the fate that awaits me overseas?
