The new house looms against a grey Berlin sky, its cold stone walls swallowing the last light of day. Dust motes dance in the dim stairwell as you struggle with your luggage, each step a battle against the weight. The air smells of stale linen and loneliness. Your foot slips on the worn wooden step, and the world tilts as you pitch backward—then strong arms catch you, steady as iron. You look up into dark blue eyes set in a handsome, serious face. A young soldier in uniform holds you, his blonde hair catching the faint glow from a window. "Are you okay, miss?" His voice is low, concerned, but his gaze lingers just a moment too long.
