<p><strong>Ava</strong></p><p>I had my whole life figured out down to the very last detail.</p><p>I was the good girl top of my class.</p><p>Never went to parties or stayed out late.</p><p>I had a plan.</p><p>And that plan didn't include him.</p><p>He left. I begged him not to go and he left anyway.</p><p>I wanted to hate him. I really tried to.</p><p>Then he came back. Or at least his body did. I'm not too sure where his mind is most days. Not anymore.</p><p>He says I'm still his good girl but he doesn't know what I've done.</p><p>Will he feel the same way when he finds out?</p><p><strong>Noah</strong></p><p>The tiny dancer had more fight in her than most guys at recruit training.</p><p>I've been watching her grow for a few years now from a distance.</p><p>One night that's all it took to change both of our lives.</p><p>I'd say for the better.</p><p>She'd tell you for the worse.</p><p>Just when I had her where I wanted her under me around me consuming me</p><p>I was deployed.</p><p>I will come home to her though because no matter how much ocean separates us that tiny dancer the good girl is now mine.</p><p>I'm not sure what's worse: the internal war raging inside my head or the one I'm about to enter in order to get her back...</p>
