It had been three weeks since 16 year old Lindsay Monroe had gotten a letter from her boyfriend 20 year old army cadet Daniel Messer. She had gotten a letter telling her that everything was fine but, he wouldn't be able to write for a while nor would he be able to make his by weekly call.

She didn't think it would be this long. Three whole weeks had gone by and nothing no letter, not even a phone call. She couldn't wait for the mailman to come that way she could check and see if a letter had come. She'd have to wait two more hours before the mailman would come down her street.

Lindsay remembered the first time she and Danny had met.

She was at her job as a waitress when a young man in army green came in taking a seat at a booth at the back of the restaurant which was her section.

'Hi, can I get you anything?' She asked giving him a little smile.

'Would you mind sitting down for a while and talking to me, I'm feeling a little low.'

'I'm off in an hour an I know where we can go.'

So she took him down to her favorite stop where she goes to just think the pier. They sat talking for a while. That's where she found out his name was Daniel but, liked to be called Danny.

'I bet you've got a boyfriend but I don't care. I've got noone to send a letter to. Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?' He said.

She saw the mailman place the mail in the mailbox and then leave she ran out of the house as fast as she could and opened the mailbox and started flipping through the mail she found a letter addressed to her with the return address the name on it was Daniel Messer. She ripped opened the letter and started to read.

'My dearest Lindsay

I have wonderful news. I get to come home in two weeks time of the letter.

I'm excited I get to see you I haven't been able to see you in a while.

I love you and I'll see you in two weeks.

Love, Danny.'

Lindsay smiled and couldn't wait for the two weeks to fly by.

I'm going to make this a chapter story hope you like it.
