When Darren left the quiet life of Princeville, NC, for the steel decks of the USS Nimitz, he was searching for a new horizon. In the rainy, gritty streets of Bremerton, Washington, he found more than he expected: a sanctuary in the form of a whirlwind romance that promised a future he finally believed in.
