Dear Juliet
I am a officer in the Royal Australian Navy. Five years ago I met and fell in love with a fellow officer who was my tutor at a training course I was on. I fell for him instantly. He was smart, kind and caring. He was a lovable rogue. He left with out a proper goodbye and I have no idea why. He said that was because he didn't want to stand in the way of my career.
But now I have to serve on the ship he is in command of and have done for the last 12 months. When my mandatory 6 months were up he seemed pleased that I didn't accept the transfer to a bigger ship that he had recommended and wanted to stay on the small patrol boat. However now it is even more painful the ship is tiny and we are all in each others pockets and we have no personal space. He keeps his distance but denies me any chance to move on. He hides behind a suit of Armor; the veneer of command and navy regulations and I don't know what to do. I really thought he was the one. I love him but he makes it so hard to see where I stand. I sometimes think he loves the ship more than me and I know he wont leave the navy and nor would I want him to please help me see what I can do.
Love Kate
okay so this is based on the film letters to Juliet. for those that haven't seen it I recommend it, it is fantastic and a romantic wonder. for the purpose of this fic it is set around series 2/3 as this is around the time we see that Kate truly loves mike but cant pursue the relationship for various reasons
