Summary: Mary and John's last night together before the war.
Mary and John lay in his bed, their bodies entwined around one another.
“Promise you won’t forget me while you’re off fighting, Captain?” Mary said, tucking her head under John’s chin.
“As long as you promise not to fall in love with anyone else while I’m away” said John, smiling.
“Never” promised Mary as tears began to fall down her cheeks.
“Hey” said John, wiping away her tears and planting a kiss on her forehead. “No crying now.”
“Sorry” said Mary. “It’s just that I’m going to miss you so much.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be home before you know it.”
