trait exhibited itself in the way she interacted with those around her. Despite these differences, Davis found her to be good company. On several nights, the two stayed up and talked until around three in the morning as Adriana told one of her many tales about her childhood. He liked that they could find something to laugh about despite their contrasting backgrounds and always encouraged the stories from the past. When they first met, he was in too much pain to appreciate her beauty. However, as the more he recovered, the more he appreciated her hourglass figure and jet-black hair. He also adored her high-pitch laugh and always looked for ways to hear it, including tickling her. Adriana, on the other hand, had initially been put off by the know-it-all attitude that the American demonstrated. He was also stubborn and had a rather pessimistic outlook of life. However, as they spent more time together, she came to understand his tragic background. She, nonetheless, appreciated his sense of humor and playful nature. Deeply, she was attracted to him but could not bring herself to admit that the liked the rugged soldier she picked up and nursed to health. Over time, they slowly grew fond of each other as they shared each other’s experiences and gave each other companionship in an environment that was extremely dangerous. Unsurprisingly, they soon connected romantically. Weeks later, Adriana heard gunshots a few kilometers away and knew that the Taliban forces were closing in. “At this rate, I must go to Kabul and see if I can get the proper medication and tools to help you,” Adriana told Davis. Kabul was far from Adriana’s house and she saw the only way she could get there was through a plane. She knew a fellow medic who would provide her with a small aircraft that was used for emergency services. The duo drove to the place and Adriana’s colleague readily gave them the craft. Meanwhile, Davis would stay with Adriana’s colleague until Adriana came back. She promised to come back as soon as she got the help she needed. Davis had grown profoundly fond of her particularly due to her zeal and the vast knowledge she had about the American wars in Afghanistan and the Gulf. Adriana had barely gone for two kilometers when a missile shot by the Taliban flew past her and hit the right wing of the plane. The plane lost control and luckily submerged in an oasis. >
