1945

You were Gripweed’s wife of nearly six years. You had decided to get married before he was deployed.

He had been at war for six long years, the only communication you had with him was through letters.

When you heard the news that the war was over you were ecstatic but also terrified. You might finally be able to see the love of your life again after all of these years... Or you could hear the news you had been dreading; that he had died in battle..

While standing on the cold dock you held your hands tightly to your chest, your fingers crossed as you tried to look over the crowd of people to look at the soldiers leaving the boat..

You gently pushed past a couple of people to get a better view and instantly felt your eyes begin to water as you saw Gripweed stepping off the boat, his eyes scanning the crowd for you.
