description Since Blake's return from Iraq, he'd shared few, if any, stories of deployment. Blake had never really invited me into this world. [...]he realized he needed something more—even if neither of us realized how badly he needed it. Less than two weeks later, I walked into a surgical recovery room at the Orthopedic Institute to find Blake smiling. In spite of the blue-print smock, the IV taped to his arm, the white sheet tucked around his lower body—the usual signs of sickness and fragility—he beamed. [...]I would feel the same nervous flutter another year later, when I was cleaning out our bathroom cupboard, sorting through at least a dozen orange prescription bottles labeled "Jensen, Blake," the bottles that used to come in the mail on a regular basis.
