One weekend when Luke stayed over on a Saturday night, however, Jenna finally had enough. He woke up from another nightmare and again refused her comfort. She kept her silence as usual, but the event sent her brain spinning out of control. As beautiful as their relationship was, there would come a point when they couldn't ignore his issues any longer. Instinctively, Jenna knew the moment would be soon.

He went home that Sunday after a hot morning in bed and a long, sweet goodbye at her door. The moment he left, however, Jenna sank to the floor and started to cry. Everything was coming to the breaking point for her. She hated that awful moment at the clinic when Miranda stared her down, as well as every one of his nightmares she endured at arm's length. She loved her man and only wanted to comfort him and help, but he wouldn't let her.

What weighed equally heavy on her heart was that he still never said I love you. She understood he genuinely loved her. He demonstrated his love constantly. He took good care of her, dedicated his time to her, and reached such depth of connection with her on nearly every level. His love was an integral part of their relationship, but he wouldn't say it.

She desperately wanted to hear it. She wanted to understand why he wouldn't say the words. He was obviously aware of his feelings, so why the silence? She was frustrated over the silence of their relationship, too. When would that end? She wanted to scream to the world why she was an entirely new person. She'd been with Luke for months and she hadn't even told her parents about him yet. They recently left for an extended mission trip to Africa, and she wouldn't be able to talk to them at all during the entire trip. So even if they "outed" their relationship, her parents still wouldn't know for months. Damn the silence.

And all those beautiful visions of being with Luke forever started to fade. The family she envisioned may never come to be. How much longer could she keep this up? More than likely, the stress of keeping the relationship a secret weighed on him, too. His whole life was wrapped up in hiding himself from those around him. How exhausting that must be.

Jenna heard more about his issues through her friends than she did from him. Both Erin and Cassie occasionally talked about Marcus's angry trainee, and Jenna's suspicions were confirmed every time. Luke was getting worse instead of better. He lived in a pressure-cooker of such magnitude Jenna could barely believe he was surviving…yet he would accept no help.

So she cried. She cried for a long time. Even a long bath and a cup of tea didn't stop her sobs. Resigned to her tears, Jenna let herself cry for nearly the whole day after he left that morning. She let every frustration from her life rock through her body and escape from her eyes.
