Love Beyond Return

Summary

On my sixth year of serving in a war zone, my request to return to headquarters was denied again.

The reason was simple.

Hospital policy didn't allow close family members to work in the same department. Since Natalie Hart and I were married, my return would be considered a conflict of interest.

I refused to accept that.

So, I quietly snuck back to Hartwell to demand an explanation.

However, I heard a conversation that made me stop short right outside the administration office.
