Intended Only for Mature Audiences. Reissue.———EXCERPT:"I am happy to see you, it's just..." I trailed off.How could I give voice to the multifarious emotions running through me, my mind was going a million miles per minute. The self-doubt was back, and something about seeing Darren face to face was surreal. I knew what I wanted to say to him: I wanted to tell him I loved him, and not just as a friend. I wanted to tell him that I wanted to be with him and that I was dying to know if he felt the same. But was this the right time? Was I just being selfish? He was recovering from surgery after being wounded in battle, what right did I have to drop an emotional bombshell on him when he was in this condition? No, I wasn't that bold. I would have to wait until the time was right, until I was sure he would return my affection."Come here," said Darren, reaching up for me with his good arm and pulling me down toward his bed. He held my head against his chest and slowly I wrapped my arms around him, giving him the best hug I could all things considered. I could feel his breath on my neck, warm as it blew against my soft skin. Chills went down my spine. Being held by him, this simple embrace, was everything to me right now. This was the moment I realized that everything would turn out alright. Then I heard him wince in pain.I shot back up, looking him in the eyes. "Are you ok?""Yeah, I'm fine. You bumped my arm slightly but it's ok.""Oh, no, I'm so sorry.""No, really, it's fine. Just a bit sore still," he said, giving me a brave smile. Darren could be in pure agony and he wouldn't tell a soul. He was self-sufficient, he didn't want to trouble people or have them waste their worry on him. How could I let him know that he didn't always have to play the tough guy around me? How could I let him know I would be there with him through everything, both good and bad?"I just can't believe you're finally home," I said softly.
