At age 12, Ashlee Nichols fell in love with her brother's best friend, Beau Jacobsen. Everyone thought she was cute, and that her crush was simply a crush. But her young heart had known he was the one, and she had planned on marrying him as soon as she was old enough.

Sure, Beau had been 22 at the time, but she knew she wouldn't always be a little girl. Just when she turned 18 and was finally old enough to date him, Beau joined the Army and was deployed to Afghanistan.
