         Hannah glanced at Jake as she slowly reached for the letter. She turned it from front to back. Jake had not written on the outside, but she felt the lump of something solid inside the paper. She slowly unfolded the packet to reveal a gold necklace. After bringing the pendant closer to her face and turning it until the winter sunlight touched it, Hannah sucked in a breath. “It’s beautiful, Jake. I love the design.”

          “I hoped you would. It’s a locket. The Bavarian jeweler helped me pick it out.”

          “Is there a photograph of you inside?”

          Jake shook his head. “I don’t have one that will fit. I didn’t have time to inscribe it, so what I wrote on the wrapping will have to do for now.”

          Hannah lifted the sheet so she could read Jake’s message:

          To Hannah, as a token of my highest regard.

          Your letters are like a beacon of light in the darkness.

                   Jacob C. Burdock

          Hannah reread the message. No title—no lieutenant this time—only Jake’s formal name.

          Hannah pressed the paper to her breast. “I’ll keep it always.”
