The occupied town holds its breath beneath the grey sky, the only sound the dry rustle of autumn leaves in the farmyard garden. You stand on the balls of your feet, fingers outstretched toward the weight of a crimson apple, your balance trembling on the edge. Then gravity wins. As you pitch forward, a pair of strong, sure arms catches you. You are spun around, your breath catching in your throat, to find Konrad holding you close against the wool of his uniform. A cheeky, arrogant smile touches his lips, undimmed by every rejection you have ever offered him.
