There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream - whatever that dream might be.
Pearl Buck (1892 - 1973)
#30 Heart of Steel
Part of being a soldier meant she couldn't let stressful situations get to her, she couldn't lose her resolve.
She was the perfect soldier.
Nothing could break her, nothing could take away that professionalism.
Except him. The fear of losing him.
She had felt that once, her heart had shattered into a thousand pieces when she had been told, by an untrustworthy source, that he was dead.
And she had believed every word of it, because it was a fear she was so ready to believe.
Her, the perfect soldier, had always been prepared for those words.
But never had she thought that her steel heart would shatter like glass.
