[ WP ] A man with a facial disfigurement falls in love with a blind woman . She gets her sight back a day before the wedding .

`` Are you ready darling?'' Carolines mother carefully consuls her daughter just hours before the wedding. 
 `` I'm ready take them off'' Caroline assured her mother as she slowly began to unravel the bandages covering her eyes. 
 The bandages are completely removed and for the first few moments she simply sat there in quiet, until finally giving her mother a passionate enraptured hug with tears in her eyes. 
 `` So where's Steve?'' She asks wiping a tear away, `` I'd love to see him.'' 
 Her mother looked hesitant but finally said `` Honey Steve's right outside but are you sure you want to see him?'' 
 `` What do you mean?'' Caroline asks stunned at her mothers atitude. 
 `` Well you know how he went to Iraq and well dear he had a pretty rough encounter and well... he's not the easiest on the eyes do you understand?'' 
 `` Momma let him come in.'' 
 Her mother quietly stepped out and complied with her daughters wishes. 
 Steve walked in with a furrowed brow and the look of overwhelming anxiety on his half burnt face. 
 Finally he stood face to face with Caroline and managed a half smile and after an awkward pause a very subdued `` hello darling.'' 
 Caroline did n't see his two missing fingers. She saw the long afternoons with her arms around Steve strolling the park. She did n't see the burns over the left side of his face but the moments when Steve had her next to his chest sharing insights into eachothers character. Any reservations she had about the man in front of her disappered as she heard the familiar cadence of his voice. 
 She stepped forward and embraced the man she saw only as her husband.
