A very sweet romance. Kind of a Dharma and Greg situation. Hippie-dippy Shiloh thinks her best friend Cary is crazy for joining the Navy and giving up his freedom. When they see each other after his boot camp, they start a romance but can’t seem to clearly communicate and so they lose touch. Years later they reconnect at a wedding. This story is told through the use of flashbacks.
