A/N: This is a story that I actually started writing independently before I even started writing ff back when I was in college. I thought that the idea would be amazingly tailored to OUAT and CS, and I'm stuck with The Lucky Ones at the moment so I decided to give you guys more than just one story at a time and see how I fare! As always your reviews and feedback mean the world to me, let me know what you think! -Steph


Prologue

October 15, 1918

My dearest,

I long for the past like you have no idea. The memories of those days that I spent with you down by the river were probably the happiest memories I have to offer. I miss everything about you, my love. I remember the way the sun shone in your eyes and your laughter filling up the room. Your beauty and your wit were unparalleled to any other girl in the whole of Dixie. I do not regret our time together, however short it was. However, I feel like I cannot keep you waiting with hope and unease forever. It is customary here in the front to not think about the future much however, I always think of you. If something were to happen to me, my darling beautiful girl, I want you to know that my love for you is everlasting. That with a love as strong as ours, it is impossible that even something as dreadful as death will be able to diminish it. If something were to happen to me, my sweet, know that I want you to live your life as happy as you can. I want you to live for the both of us because in the end we will be together, of that I am sure. Live and love, my darling, for in the end I know we shall be reunited at last.

Yours forever,

K.J.
