I pull into her driveway and run around the car to open the door. I punch in the code on the townhome door and she shakes her head.

“Why didn’t you change it?” I ask.

She walks past me as I hold the door open. I guess there are some questions that she won’t answer, and I have to be okay with that because there are some questions I can’t answer.

Inside the townhome, I pause. I’m walking back in time. Last night when I was here, I was in my trained mode. I wasn’t examining the surroundings. I wasn’t remembering.

But now the past is in my face. Her and me here. That first night. The perfect night.

I reach out to her and she drops her purse. “When you didn’t accept my proposal, I think a part of me died and I tried to move on. And then when I was stationed in Afghanistan, I watched eight soldiers in my squad die, almost half of the team. I kept in touch with several of the wives and I saw how hard it was for them to move on, not that anyone has to, but I think that we hope that they will. It’s not fair to the living to be living with the dead, Luna. When Black Ice told me that it would be better if my family and friends thought we were dead, in case something went horribly wrong and we were left to the wild dogs or jaguars, they would have less explaining. Now I see it was to their benefit not the people we loved. They made up stories for all twelve of us. We’re all living zombies. I’m Murphy when I’m there, and I truly feel like I’m a different person, but with you, I feel…I feel like me again.”

I press my forehead to hers. “I thought you’d probably moved on. Hell, any man would want to have you in their life. You’re gorgeous, so full of life. You’re my angel, Luna. I feel like I’m in heaven when I’m with you. And a part of me stayed alive just to see you again.”

“Are you going back?”

“I don’t know.”

She steps back and runs a hand through her hair. “Then why even come back?”

“Because…Luna, you’re the one mission I’ve always regretted not finishing. I know we’re meant to be together. Without you, Lu, I’ll never really live again.”
