732 Letters, None for Me

Summary

My best friend and James Sterling had been sworn enemies for twenty years, constantly bickering whenever they met. He was a special forces captain; she was the accompanying medic. The only thing they agreed on was to obey my every word. Everyone would laugh, calling them my ‘left and right-hand protectors.’

Until five months into my pregnancy, when I was tidying up James’s old belongings in our military housing, I found a heavy iron box. Opening it, I discovered all the letters he’d written before dangerous missions – his last wills.
