But she was tired. So tired.

A shadow moved beside her. She almost fired, but then she saw the face-a young lieutenant, his uniform torn, his eyes wide.

"Don't shoot," he whispered. "I'm on your side."

His name was Mikhail. He was a scout, sent to find enemy positions. He crawled into her hiding spot, his body close to hers, his breath warm in the frozen air.

"You're the sniper," he said. "The one they talk about."

She didn't answer. She was watching the German lines, waiting for a target.

"Why do you do it?" he asked.

She didn't look at him. "Because someone has to."

He was quiet for a moment. Then he said, "I'll watch your back."

They fought together for three days, sharing the same hiding spot, the same rations, the same silence. On the third night, under a sky full of stars, he kissed her.

"When this is over," he whispered, "I'll find you."

She touched his face, felt the stubble, the warmth.

"Don't make promises you can't keep."

He smiled. "This one I'll keep."

The next morning, he was gone. She didn't know if he was dead or alive. She only knew that she had to survive. She had to see him again.

The war ended. She went home. She waited.

One day, a knock on the door. She opened it.

He stood there, older, thinner, his hair gray. But his eyes were the same.

"I told you I'd find you," he said.

She pulled him inside, held him close, the years falling away.

He had kept his promise. And she had kept hers. She had survived.
