Nash wondered at her wording earlier, thought about how much they had changed and yet how much they were still the same. She definitely wasn’t the same lighthearted person, but she was also a lot more stable and a lot more grounded. Whether it was maturity or trials that did that, he was glad for her sake. It would make whatever was coming down the pipeline easier to handle. He could only hope for good things, but he knew that life had a tendency to toss you in the soup, just for fun.

And, he had to admit, he had been serious when he had said he would have already asked her out, if not for the state of his body. He would certainly date her right now. In fact, he was trying to figure out how to work the conversation around to see if she was even interested in something between them. Something was very special about her. He had seen it back then, and it had not changed.

He had not expected such a connection to still exist though. He had made a good choice back then, going into the navy, without really thinking of it as giving up Alicia for the service. He never saw his decision to join up as an either/or situation. He figured she would always be waiting for him.

Or had he walked away, free and clear, completely untethered to any of the emotional responses that he’d had back then?

The thing was, he was trying to find excuses to have a relationship with her right now, although he kept going back to their past and what they had back then. Yet knowing that they were completely different now, he still felt this bond, a link to her. Something to grow on, something to develop, and something to further. But then, as he caught sight of his body, he winced.

Why would she want to spend more time with somebody like him, after spending so much time caring for her brother and watching him deteriorate?

She needed to be free of that. The best Nash could do would be to get as healthy as he could be, then to see if they had something. He also knew the pitfalls of trying to get healthy for somebody else. He had heard horror stories of guys who had done everything they could for their wives or their girlfriends, only to have their marriages or their relationships fall apart when they returned home anyway. Nash knew a lot of other layers were
