First leave

After a year of no seeing each other, John visits Savannah and they spent a lot of time together and with their families. During this period, they intensify their love and they share activities in which they know each other deeper. I think that this is the part in which both of them really fall in love and they are sure that one day they will be together forever.  It did not happen too much during this part, I enjoy it because everything seems right and innocent. I like Savannah´s opinion about relationships and how he reacts to several situations. But as everything in life, nothing lasts forever, and, after a couple of weeks, John returns to the army.
