Lost Sunrise

World War II ended over four years ago for Joe Martinson and when he returned home to his little Indiana town, he hoped to forget the past and move on, but if you ask his father Henry, Joe never moved on and all he does is hide from the world behind the lens of his camera. Joe is convinced he can exist in his quiet, uncomplicated life, burying the memory of all he faced, that is until he comes face to face with Elizabeth Thompson, his one true love from long ago. At a time when Joe and Elizabeth are lost in a world that seems to be changing before their eyes, they come face to face with their past, and the possibility of a future they never imagined. As they rekindle their love affair, Elizabeth teaches Joe to confront the ghosts of war. She helps him find a life that was almost lost to him, but she also helps him tell his story, their story, which will forever change both of their lives.

Chapter 46: Joe

In the morning when Elizabeth awoke, she looked over to Joe's side of the bed, but he was gone. She got up and went downstairs and when she walked into the kitchen, she saw the door was open. She walked outside expecting to find Joe on the porch, but he wasn't there. She crossed the lot and walked over to the barn; the door to the darkroom was open. She walked in to find Joe working at the counter. Elizabeth stopped at the door.

"You are up awfully early," she said.

He turned to the door and smiled, happy to see Elizabeth there.

"Yeah, I snuck out while you were sleeping. I didn't want to disturb you. You were so peaceful while you slept-I don't think I ever sleep like that, so I couldn't bring myself to wake you. I just figured I would get this done so we can take them into the city this morning."

Elizabeth walked over to him. "That's great, Joe."

She looked around at the counter, seeing that he had almost packed everything up. "Is there anything I can help out with?"
