The room was small, with flaking cement walls and holes for windows. A makeshift place of worship in this hostile environment. The only thing identifying its purpose was a metal cross on a wooden stand set on a table behind Father Dudley. Cameron stood at Alice's side wearing his desert camouflage trousers, dusty boots, and a sandy-colored T-shirt. Lieutenant Grace and Major Braithwaite sat on wooden chairs behind them, both there to witness the marriage. Marriage! Alice swallowed down the massive lump in her throat as memories from the past rushed back. She had sworn never to marry. She had believed she would never trust a man enough to commit like that. If someone had told her she would marry a soldier in a makeshift chapel in a war zone, she would have thought they were crazy. Yet here she was, and far from being nervous with Cameron she was deeply grateful to him. She cast a quick sideways glance at the gorgeous army doctor with his warm brown eyes and easy smile. She might be developing feelings for him, but Alice had no illusions he was interested in her.
