A full year of silence stretches behind you, held at bay only by the ink and paper you exchanged. Now, standing at the edge of the parade ground, you watch rows of uniformed soldiers standing at attention. Your pulse hammers in your throat as you search, scan, and then—there. His face, achingly familiar, unchanged by distance or duty. You close the gap, your fingers brushing the fabric of his uniform shoulder. The contact is a spark, snapping him out of his military trance and back into the world where you exist.
