Double-Take: A Texas Cowgirl Ropes a Brooklyn Boy

After her short lived marriage ended in an annulment, Alexandra followed her dream and left the small Texas town of Fort Worth for New York City. She's surprised by her attraction to a soldier who's home on leave: Careful Alex, she thought, you're not ready for this, it's way too early. He'll be a civilian in six months; maybe then. He's deployed for six months duty to Afghanistan and promised to write. She's disappointed having received no letters after two months. He seemed so sincere, she thought.

When they did see each other again, he acted like they never met. Her initial shock turned to anger "He was a phony all along!" she told her friend Lisa.
Lisa had her own theory, "Maybe something happened to him over there?" she suggested.
