Scenario

They were married before his first deployment to Afghanistan. During the majority of their marriage, Jason has been stationed overseas, and they have communicated via Skype and gotten together for brief periods between deployments. Jason will be stateside for at least two years. Tremaine sees him as increasingly emotionally remote, quite nervous at times, and having trouble sleeping.
