    "H-how did you—?"
     
    "I knew. What happened between us, it was real," Zeih said, looking straight into my eyes, and I can feel his sincerity.
     
    "You remember everything?" More tears began to stream down my cheeks. It was the only thing I can do. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t walk away. Wait a second; did I just ask him if he remembered everything? That’s the most out of place sentence in this whole discussion. And he just shrugged it off? The nerve of this guy; but why can’t I budge out of this mess?
     
    And the biggest cliché moment of them all happened that night.
     
    Drops of water began to drip on my arms. Is this really happening? Then it was followed by more until the whole place was wet with the rain. Still, none of us made a move. I just felt Zoey's hand holding me tighter.
     
    "I was there Rachel. Every month I would visit the both of you in London. I would play with Zoey and watch you secretly." I looked at my son. I didn’t want to believe the words I was hearing. He was playing with Zoey without my knowledge. I kneeled in front of my son and asked him.
     
    "Mom, I knew he was my father. Lucius told me. During my 5th birthday, Lucius told me that he was my father." Zoey was now crying too. It broke my heart to see my son confused because of my fear. I was so damn upset of what I did.
     
    "I was so scared to tell you because I didn’t want to break your heart… I didn’t want you to cry." He sobbed but my tears felt heavier.
     
    We are all scared of something. If it wasn't ghosts and monsters, then it maybe we’re just scared of the realities of life. I hugged my boys tight as the rain embraced us together. I missed him. I really do. We try to avoid the pain by running away. But in the end, we often realize that there's such greater pain than not trying.
     
    "Does this mean I officially have a daddy?" Zoey asked. “Oh yes you do,” replied Zeih and we frolicked in the rain. Another cliché? Yes, but this was as real as I could get.
     
    It will always be you and me, so why do we have to dream alone?

    The Heart of a Soldier
    Boom!
    The artillery and gun fire was all around Chad.  Its noise droned on in his ears.  He felt it in his bones.  He can’t remember the last time he slept.  He tried to wipe dust from his eye, but only succeeded in getting more in it. He could hardly see their targets as the sand storm kicked up worse.
    He was tired of this war.  He was tired of this land.  He wished he were back home in Virginia with his ma and pa, eating ma's home cooked chicken with potatoes covered in gravy.  He licked his dry lips but they felt like gravel.  He wished there were water in his canteen right now.
    This was the hardest deployment he had yet endured.  It was a faraway place where young kids shot machine guns in the direction of his battalion, and he didn't know whether to shoot back or cease fire.  They hadn't trained him for this.  War certainly hadn't hardened him the way they had promised.  He wasn't sure if he wanted it to. He saw his friends lose arms and legs and dreaded being sent home a broken man.
    Someone crying out suddenly broke his concentration.  His lieutenant was suddenly hit by a bullet.  Chad jumps up to return fire, but out of the corner of his eye he sees Roger’s blood pouring from his neck. In one swift move Chad perches his gun on his knee. He uses the other hand to put pressure on
