(Giovanna POV)
May 15th 1944
I was a bit uneasy about Niall’s newest letter. Last time I had asked him about us seeing one another again after the war. I’m just hoping if he says no it doesn’t ruin this pen pal thing we have going. My answers were right here in my hand. I just have to tear this open. I slowly slid my finger under the fold of the envelope to break the seal.

Dear Nurse,
Let me begin this letter by saying first and foremost that. I love the letters we have wrote to one another. I love how we were once strangers and well now I think of you as someone I can trust and truly rely on. So when you asked me if I would want to see you after the war. I couldn’t even think about it because you made me think if so many things when you asked. My family, life, a career. It’s crazy to believe how after all this life will go back to normal. Without worries of losing your life everyday. It seems a bit odd. The last four years of my life have been nothing but war. I’ve just been happy to live everyday. Sure I think about what I want after war but not what I will have. I’m trying not to babble I promise. I put all of this into consideration. And after thinking about all of it up knew that I had no reason to say no because I didn’t want to. Yes I would love to see you after this war. Besides my buddies here with me and my family you are the only person I talk to as much as possible. And I figure we keep it that way. But when we do make it out of this war and see each other I don’t want to just be your pen pal. Which by this point we are in denial of anyway. (As you can see I’ve done tons of thinking in this time). I think our friends are right. You and I. We aren’t just pen pals. At least to me were not. I think you are a wonderful, smart, gorgeous woman. And I am not friends with women like that. Women like you are generally someone I would like to call my own. Someone I would be proud to have. To be straight with you I want you to be my girl. Which I know sounds even crazier a long distance relationship across battle lines during a huge war but I don’t know I just think that we could make it. We have made it thus far as friends. Why not give it a chance? What’s the worst that can happen? We lose each other? We take that risk everyday in battle. So why don’t we take a risk that is at least something that won’t kill us? Anyway now that all of that is off my chest yesterday I…. Oh forget it. After I basically wrote all that stuff there isn't anything else I can say. No story can veer you away from that. Not without that lingering on your mind. I’ll stop here. It’s short I know but I want you to think this all over. Give me your answer in your next letter.
Your soldier always,
Niall J. Horan.
P.S I’m happy to hear about you coming to France. It’s dangerous like you have heard but it’s worth it. Seeing a new place with new people. And maybe we’ll cross paths again and sooner than we've hoped.

I almost felt like I wasn't even existing as myself. Like my body was sitting here with the letter and I was above myself. Niall wants me to be his girl. I never imagined him asking. But I have imagined it. Ever since the girls teased me about it. And it’s always been wonderful. I feel like he is one of those guys who treats his girl right. Makes her feel lucky to have him. I’ve always wanted that. I just don’t know if war is a good time. It’s a huge risk. I know like he said were already risking so much in this was what’s one more thing. We’re already communicating across enemy lines, using false identities to do so, having others keep our secret, and planning to meet afterwards .Can a relationship across enemy lines work too?
