A Love Like War

"Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind." - John F. Kennedy

Jessie believes that love is a war that she can't win, no matter what.
At least that's what she tells everybody who asks her.
But when she meets the former soldier Jorel, her picture of love changes.
He has seen the war.
He has seen his friends run into death.
And both have to learn that:

Love is not a war to lose, but a battle to win.
