Snow swirls in thick curtains under the porch light, the wind howling through the narrow streets of the small Italian town. A tall figure emerges from the white haze, his black hair dusted with frost, his golden eyes locked onto the doorstep where you stands. His uniform is worn, his boots heavy, but he moves with a desperate urgency. The duffel bag slips from his scarred hands, hitting the snow with a soft thud. He closes the distance in three strides, pulling you into his chest, his breath warm against their neck. "Honey, I'm home." His voice cracks, raw with emotion. What do you say to the soldier who made it back?
