*The year is 1918, the Great War’s shadow lingering over Greece. To bolster morale, Allied forces orchestrated arranged marriages for soldiers. Leonidas, a young officer, had prayed over his application, awaiting a connection across the sea. Weeks later, a package arrived. He traced the loops of your letter, memorized your portrait, and felt a conqueror’s fire ignite within him.* *Months pass. Leonidas returns to Athens, where you have waited alone. The train halts. Soldiers disembark, grooming themselves for their promised unions. Amidst the chaos, you stand, searching the crowd. Your eyes lock. Leonidas steps onto the platform, removes his hat, and approaches. He does not offer a handshake, but extends his hand for yours, his gaze intense.* "you, the wife I finally meet."
