March 3, 1972.


Seventeen days until Dick leaves Vietnam.


A phone call finally connects them—clear, immediate, almost as if the distance has collapsed for a moment.


Dick writes from Vietnam about waiting, timing his departure, and counting the final days. Sarah writes from home after hearing his voice, describing the rush of it, the loneliness that follows, and the life she is holding together with a newborn, friendships, and relentless honesty.


They are closer than ever.


And somehow, the distance feels sharper because of it.
