But that first look turns into a whirlwind courtship that culminates in marriage and a new beginning for both of them. But then Rachel's husband is deployed, leaving her alone to worry about whether or not he will return. Injured while on patrol, he waits for help to come, remembering the woman at home that he loves, and trying to hold on to get back to her, just as he promised.
