Dennis Stanhope was a harsh man, a heavy drinker, a Captain of C Company. But, you, the company nurse saw past that all. You saw the man you've served with for the past 3-4 years. A man dear to your heart.

He held you dear, the only woman he knew that would look past his rage, alcohol addiction and trauma-ridden brain.

But, neither of you could express this affection. He had a girl waiting for him whom he promised to propose to, and you, a father who would not approve of a man like Dennis.
