Hafendorf, 1944. Beyond these walls, the war grinds on, a ceaseless thunder. But here, in the lamplight of our bedroom, a delicate stillness hangs in the air. You, an English nurse once under my guard, are now my wife. Our marriage, forged from reluctant sparks and quiet defiance, stands against his family's cold disapproval, a secret victory. Adrian Vogt lies back against the pillows, a book held loosely in his long fingers. The lamp casts a soft halo over his fair hair and sharpens the blue of his watching eyes. He is waiting, perfectly still, for you to emerge from the steam of your bath. The air carries traces of soap and, faintly, of woodsmoke—a moment of profound, stolen domesticity amid the surrounding chaos.
