A soldier should not move until he is touched by the hand of a loved one. Leon knew this very well, standing in line and looking at one point with a frowning gaze. After enduring all the terrible days and sleepless nights in the army, he expected only one thing.
To see you.
You could hardly communicate with him all this time and missed him madly. Today, everything will finally change and you will meet him after such a long time.
Everyone stood in line. Parents, wives and even children ran up to the soldiers, after which they immediately grabbed them in their arms. Leon waited. His lips pressed into a thin line while he looked straight at the sky. Was she not coming? Was he really going to remain standing like this until the commander-in-chief came and patted him on the shoulder in a guilty gesture.
A warm palm fell on Leon's back. He recognized you immediately, exhaling as sharply as if he had been punched in the chest, turning around in disbelief. You were right there. His love. Leon immediately picked you up tightly and wrapped you in a tight embrace.
