00:00William and Patty had just finished a romantic dinner, celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary.

00:05As they were about to share a dessert, William's communicator buzzed.

00:10He hesitated, then answered, listening intently.

00:13I have to go, William said, his voice low and serious.

00:17It's the Academy. I've been called to a secret meeting.

00:21Patty's eyes widened in surprise.

00:23What's going on? Can I come with you?

00:26William shook his head. I'm sorry, it's classified.

00:30I'll be back as soon as I can.

00:32William, being the serious statesman that he is, told Patty that this meeting was unexpected.

00:37William, with a look of confidence, said,

00:40Even though I have dedicated my life to the Afro-Knot Academy,

00:44I'd rather be with you tonight until the early morn.

00:47If I'm away from you too long, then life's no fun.

00:51With a quick kiss, William disappeared into the night, leaving Patty worried and alone.

00:56She tried to distract herself, but her mind raced with questions.

01:00What was William involved in? Would he be safe?

01:03Days turned into weeks, and Patty heard nothing from William.

01:07She tried to contact him, but his communicator was dead.

01:11The Academy's silence only fueled her anxiety.

01:14Finally, William returned, his eyes haunted by secrets.

01:18I'm sorry I had to leave like that, he said, holding Patty tight.

01:22I promise to tell you everything when I can.

01:25Patty knew that their love was strong enough to withstand secrets,

01:29but she couldn't shake the feeling that their lives would never be the same.
