Soldiers deserve Christmas miracles, right? Maybe this year it was time for mine. I was a soldier in a cold, empty hospital room with Christmas right around the corner. She was a nurse with the eyes of an angel and the heart of a saint. I shouldn't have fallen for her, shouldn't have wanted to maker her dream of a romantic walk in the snow reality, but I did. Ren was everything I never knew I needed—but I was a marine and the United States Marine Corps was my life. I didn't know how to charm a woman, didn't know how to make her wait for me, and yet, with her I wanted to.
