United States Army Special Forces Captain.
After winning a war, Sophie returns back home, for some much needed vacation. Only to unexpectedly connect with a high profile athlete. Although, what happens when life and work get in the wa...
Today is going to be one of those days. When I woke up at 4 in the morning, sweating heavily from the nightmare that I could've sworn was real. It was a given. As I got out of the shower, I changed into some clothes, and went for a run to clear my mind. When I returned it was obvious to me that the run had slightly worked.. for now. I began to make breakfast when I got a call.

Call Ended
I felt for Hayes, this was his first leave after a tour, and he was rather young to be having nightmare or flashbacks. Although I couldn't blame him, the things we had been through and the things we had seen were rough. I walked towards the sliding door that looked out to the backyard, something about the call with Lieutenant Hayes triggered a bad memory from this last tour. Luckily I was taken out of my thoughts before getting too far into it. Startling me Alex tapped my shoulder.
