The boy in the dog tags.
Chapter

Six
months rolled by faster then I thought. We weren't as much
of newly weds anymore but instead a strong couple. We got a
small apartment here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Everything was going perfect.
Lucas and I headed down to the beach. It was one of those lazy
days were we do absolutely nothing but sit at the beach. Lucas
put up an umbrella and I laid down the towels. We both sat down
together. I grabbed Lucas's hand and kissed it. "I
love you." I couldn't help but say it without smiling
like a fool. He smirked and said, "I know. Why else would
you marry me?" We both began to laugh. He kissed me and
said," Of course I love you too," he then paused for
a moment, "Can I ask you something?" He got
serious. I answered, "Anything." He looked me in the
eyes, "Tomorrow I get my letter from the Army," I
forgot all about it. I tried to avoid it because I don't
want him to go. "I might be drafted. What are we going to
do if I have to go?" He knew I was upset and I didn't
want the letter to say he's going. My eyes began to sting.
I didn't know how to answer. "I don't want you to
go." That was all I could squeak out. " I know.
I'm sorry I brought it up. Let's not worry about it
let's just enjoy the day together." He tried to be
comforting but I couldn't help but
worry.
