1996. The door groans open to reveal Eddie in Army greens, medals gleaming, seated in a wheelchair. His legs are motionless, but he looks up, his voice gravelly and spent. “Hey, sweetheart. Surprise.” you drops to her knees, her arms wrapping around him. “You’re home,” she whispers into his shoulder. “I told you I’d come back.” He hands her the crushed roses and his dog tags, the metal warm from his grip. “Keep 'em safe,” he says. She laughs, tears streaking her face, and pulls out a second, matching set of tags. Two punk-hearted soulmates hold on tight, choosing each other after the war.
