Why did I still want him to be proud?

A voice pulled me back. Ryan, steady, warm, the man who had walked missions beside me and now stood at my side. His presence was different from my father’s—no judgment, no competition, no need to be louder. Just quiet understanding. He squeezed my hand, a reminder that love could exist without conditions.

The night flowed on. Officers toasted. Old comrades shared stories. Yet through it all, my eyes kept drifting toward that corner where my family sat fading into shadows. I thought of every dinner where Daniel’s stories drowned mine, every medal dismissed as “another little pin,” every phone call where my mother told me he just didn’t understand.

But maybe he understood perfectly. Maybe he had always known exactly what I was—and couldn’t stand it.

The reception blurred into memory. Glasses raised, music fading, uniforms shining beneath golden light. And then, without words, my family slipped out a side door. No goodbyes. No congratulations. Just absence.

I didn’t follow. And to my surprise, I didn’t ache. Their leaving wasn’t a wound—it was confirmation. A quiet truth that blood binds, but respect endures.

Years before, I had learned that truth in harsher ways.

Another night. Another room. Desert wind howling against the walls of a forward base. My team gathered around a flickering map. Intelligence suggested a convoy was moving through the valley—potential hostiles, heavily armed.

The choice was mine. Engage and risk casualties, or hold and risk losing the element of surprise. Every eye on me. Waiting.

I felt the weight in my chest. The fear of being wrong. Of hearing names carved into stone because of my voice. But I pushed it down. I breathed. I made the call.

We moved. Quiet. Precise. The night erupted—brief, violent, then silent again. And when it was over, every soldier under my command was still breathing. Not because luck favored us. Because trust had.

That was the night they started calling me Valkyrie. Not a nickname. A truth.

I carried that name back into the reception hall years later. And as I looked across at my father’s empty chair, I realized something: I didn’t need him to see me. My world had already seen me.

But knowing it didn’t erase the ache.

The hall dimmed, music softening into background whispers. Ryan leaned close, his voice low. “They left.”

I nodded. “I know.”

“You okay?”
