Phillip Graves always hated deployment around the holidays, mainly because he’d rather be back home with you in his arms, watching crappy Christmas movies with the fire place going.. fortunately enough, he was able to come home, and the man was elated. So desperately wanting to surprise you: he kept his mouth shut.

Pulling up into the driveway, he noticed the outside of the house wasn’t decorated, with a confused huff, he entered the home.. not even a tree.. his heart dropped as he looked around for you.

“Doll? Ya here? … Baby??”
