Trapped with a Navy Seal

I never imagined my trip overseas would trap me with a grumpy Navy SEAL.

Losing my sister made me realize life is short.

So, I head for Japan with her eight-year-old son, Alex.

A handsome older Grump sits by us on the airplane.

Alex's fidgeting appears to agitate the Grump.

But Alex's cute face finally wins him over.

Turns out, he is good company.

We land in Japan and say our goodbyes.

So we think.

Alex and I are ready to begin our new life.

Until we meet our new neighbor Derrick the grump

I don’t see much of him.

Until the winds roar and the earth starts to shake.

I panic thinking of Alex; who is at school.

Trembling, I grasp for the door.

And there he is, Derrick.

A navy SEAL and protector.

He ushers me to safety on his rooftop.

As a 30-foot tsunami heads towards us.

Trapped together, we share our deepest fears.

The isolation and darkness ignite an indescribable bond between us.

We have to rescue Alex and find a way to safety.

Or our newfound love will never get a chance to blossom.
