A/N: Set during the time of Steve's tour selling bonds.
Buffalo, New York
July 14th, 1943To my Sarge,
I'm sorry I haven't written in weeks, it wasn't my intention. I just wasn't in the right mind set. Someone i cared for was killed before my eyes.. i guess that's how my life will be now that i've followed Steve into the Army.
But I'm better now, Steve suggested I write to you to clear my head and the bad thoughts that swirl around in my mind.
So that's what i'm doing, writing to you, as promised. I miss you, so much, James. The way your smile can light up a room, how you can get anyone to follow you, the way your laugh is contagious, how caring you are towards the people you love.
I remember when i was seventeen, you were nineteen, i had gotten sick, unlike Steve, i rarely got sick. So when Steve told you i woudn't be able to make it out today, you pooled all your money to get me a stuffed teddy bear and ingredients to make your mom's famous chicken noodle soup.
Only you ended up destroying the soup and had to call your mother to make some and bring it over. You stayed with me until my fever broke, which wasn't until five in the morning, you moved a chair from the living room next to my bed so you could keep watch of me while i slept to make sure i was doing okay.
That was when i realized you meant more to me than just a friend.
With all my heart,
Your Little Nurse, Mary
