Woman hugging man with text that says "Casual things my man i did before we started dating:"(l), Phone with tiktok app(c), Photo of girl looking at someone covered in text "There is no casual in war. We met when he left a literal battlefield. On our third date he had a call to go on a mission. I began to cry and he kissed my forehead. I was his girlfriend a week later. My birthday was two days later and he met all of my friends. We said I love you three weeks after that. I met his entire unit at his best friend's wedding two weeks after. When I got out of basic training for the weekend he drove out of Rafah at 4am to hug me to sleep. He's never made an excuse not to be there for me."(r)
