Chapter One

The tapping on my window always woke me up at night. The small pebbles bounced off of my window. I threw the covers off and rush to let the cool summer breeze into the room.

My lover stood at the bottom, looking impatient as always. "Hurry up!" He whisper-yelled.

I smiled, ducking back into the room to change out of my nightgown and into a more suitable dress. I tossed on some boots and a sweater as well. I didn't worry about my hair, with the limited time and all...

I sat on the window seal and he reached out his arms. I jumped, landing with a thud, bringing us both to the ground. I laughed as quietly as possible. "Thanks for softening the landing, darling."

He glared, shoving me off of him. "Let's go. I'm late today."

I laughed again and followed the short man (Don't tell him I called him that). I grabbed his hand, and swung our arms back and forth as we walked.

We moved quickly through the night, trying to get to our secret place. Well, I wouldn't call it a secret, but it was close enough. An old abandoned bakery, which is now a storage unit for the Military Police, was our sanctuary.

I moved in first and he shut the door behind us. "It's been almost a month since we've last gone out like this, huh?" I asked, spinning around on the toes of my boots.

He nodded, dark hair falling into his eyes. I clasped my hands, and held them in front of me.

We had been meeting like this at least once a month for two years, more often if he had to go outside the walls. We met at the Scout Regiment's yearly gathering. My sister and her husband don't disagree with our relationship, and since we don't have parents, there is no other need for acceptance.

My boyfriend took my clasped hands in his. "What's wrong, Julia?"

I shook my head. "Nothing.

He narrows his eyes. "It doesn't seem like nothing."

I broke loose and stared at the ground. "We've been together for a long time, haven't we?"

"What's this about, Julia?"

"All of my friends have already gotten married, you know? I'm the only one that hasn't. Some of them even have families. It just makes me sad that I'm not."

He embraced me suddenly. "I'm sorry."

He pulled back and grabbed my face. "Well then, how about we get married ?"

It took a minute to register. Levi is asking me to marry him? I would have never expected him to ask like this. My eyes teared up, and I nodded my head. "Yes!"
