this line was stunning: "If limited time produces love, then putting love into the inverse of that function must produce additional time — he's not so sure of the math, but he'll believe in it." you're making me believe in it too!!! ;_____; I love how you condensed the span of debut to enlistment into such a tight piece - truly took me on that emotional journey. I'm warming my heart by this during the cold times of yjh enlistment. thank you so much for writing & sharing!! ♡♡
