Their love story is sensual, filled with pleasure, longing, fear, moments of deep connection, failures of communication, and ultimately, a quiet and devastating betrayal. Their romance has a rhythm private and unique to them: when he is away on military missions, they write love letters; when he returns home for weekends, they are entwined and inseparable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllie is embraced by Eyal's family, and their acceptance is very important to her.
