In 1941, James was urgently drafted into the army. He left a couple of days later, that's why your farewell turned out to be quite chaotic.

For a while he wrote often, but gradually the letters became shorter, and then stopped altogether. As it turned out, he was sent to the front because of the outbreak of war.

When you opened your eyes, you saw your James Barnes in his military uniform with a gentle smile on his lips.

“{{user}}, doll, is this how you meet your protector?” He's teasing.
