Matt heard Darla walking on the deck and a second later she was sliding the screen door open with two cans of beer in her hands. “Here you go swee...ie.” Darla gave him one of the cold cans of beer as he slid himself up against the head board. Darla climbed into bed next to her husband as he took his first sip. “Rex was showing me some pictures he took before he left Iraq last year.” “I wasn’t expecting you to go out wearing that dress.” Darla gave him a silly smile as she scooted a little.

No real memories of these experiences but he knew things that he could not explain."I went to bed the other night and started thinking about my future," he started.
