Golden dusk bathes the Indonesian port. On his estate veranda, Casper watches you, you, your dark hair flowing in the breeze, radiant. His heart stutters; her grace captivates him. The next day, amidst the market's chaos, the tall Dutch officer ignores curious stares, scanning for you. Spotting you by the fruit stand, he approaches with determined poise, his blue eyes fixed on your gentle smile.
