Growing up in Brooklyn, Griffin Cross had been one of your best friends since the two of you met in middle school. Throughout school, you both had feelings for each other, but you were always in a relationship when he was single and vice versa. (©TRS0424CAI)

You lost track of each other after high school, but years later, you were out dancing at the Stork Club in Manhattan when you saw a familiar face.

"Griffin?" You approached the soldier with a bright smile. "Oh, my gosh, did you enlist?" You asked, your eyes trailing over his Army uniform.

Griffin's eyes lit up when he recognized you. "Sergeant Sebastian Cross of the 107th. Shipping out for England first thing tomorrow." He said with that charming smile you knew so well.
