Chapter 1: Letting Go
" I don't want you to leave." Olivia said through tears as she and her husband Mark stood on the military base. He was a soldier heading to Iraq. He gently touched the side of her face and leaned in to kiss her.
" I know baby, but you know I have to do this." He said as he wiped away her tears.
" I know, but it's hard every time." She choked.
" Please don't cry. I won't be able to do this if I leave you crying." He whispered. Olivia quickly wiped her stray extra tears away and cleared her throat.
" No tears. OK... I love you so much Mark and I am so proud of you."
" I love you too babe. I will be back I promise. OK?" He smiled at her before giving her another kiss.
" I know you will." She returned his smiled. " And don't you forget to call and if you can't call, write me. I will be waiting." She said as he walked away. The other soldiers was walking to the jets too.
" I love you Olivia." He said.
" Love you too." She mouthed. Mark looked one last time at his beautiful wife before getting onto the jet.
' Please let me come home safe.' He silently prayed. He finally got on the jet and they headed up into the sky. Back on the ground, Olivia waved until she couldn't't see anything but the grey sky.
The whole scene looked so ironic. Here she was crying and it looked like it was going to rain.
She walked back solemnly back into her car. After starting the ignition, she headed for the three hour drive to New York.
