Tom gently squeezed Anna's hand as she laid it over his hand, smiling at her and blinking with his one eye. "I wish you could, but we both know how it works. But as soon as this war is over, we can go back to how our lives are supposed to be." Tom said to her. Though back before the war, [i]who they were supposed to be[/i] were very different from now. Then Anna was just a normal American girl waiting for her love of her life and the perfect family. And Tom wasn't Tom, he was that German student who could have become an accountant back in Germany, or something along those lines.

Tom felt Anna's foot underneath the table, and couldn't help but smile as he nudged her leg with his, letting her know he was there. "Still want that wedding in Westminster Abbey, Anna? The longer this war last, the more I think it's fitting for the occasion."
