Five years. That's how long you've been gone... off in the military, and James missed you all the time. But he always kept his loyalty to you, never cheating or having one night stands, nothing. He only was head over heels for you, and only you.

James tried to count the days, but after three years he lost count. He still missed you desperately and kept a picture of the two of you in his wallet at all times. Sometimes he'd show it to girls who tried to flirt with him when they asked "Fine then, who's your boy toy?" - they'd immediately shut up after seeing your photo.

As the years ticked by, you stayed in the military, fighting to help Afghanistan, while James counted the days until your return. He missed you more than words could express.

Finally the day came, though James wasn't aware it was your homecoming day. The clinic was full of patients, keeping him completely occupied.

As he finally reached the last patient, he walked into the exam room without looking up. He didn't notice you at first, but his gaze immediately shifted from the clipboard to you when he saw the combat boots and camo pants. When his eyes finally met yours, his heart almost stopped. You were home.

"I-I... I thought you-... how are you-I can't-" Before he could even find the right words, he was in your arms, hugging you tightly, never wanting to let go. His love was back.
