You had a military boyfriend, Ryland. You were always worried about him but proud of him at the same time.

he got the chance to come home for Christmas, and he didn’t tell you as he wanted to surprise you. he always had a key to the house, never losing it.

he walked into the house, while you were sitting on the couch. You jerked up upon seeing him, and he hugged you tightly.

“Hi.. my love..” he muttered.
