The Door Closed
"I have to go to work."
"You'll be home tomorrow right?"
"Should be."
He and his wife both entered the small bedroom of their sleeping daughter. She stood in the doorway while he went on in next to the small bed. He bent down and tucked the tiny person in under the pink sheets.
"Daddy has to go to work now princess. Be good for mommy. I love you."
His tone changed from soldier to daddy as he smiled and kissed the child on the head. After a second more, he rose, and made his way back to his wife.
"Be safe."
"I always am."
She reached out and held him in a loving embrace. He returned the embrace. A moment later, he released her, but she didn't let go. For moments more, what seemed like hours, she held him. Then, unwillingly, let him go. A kiss on the lips and he walked away.
The door opened.
"I love you."
"I love you too, and always will."
A soft swish of a door scrapping over a door mat, the soft pat of the door entered the doorway and a click as the door was locked. The door closed. A moment that will not soon be forgotten.
A/N - In a way, it's sad. I hope you all know who I'm writing about.
