Prague, 1938. The air in the flower shop was thick with the scent of jasmine the day you walked in, an officer needing a bouquet for your mother. That chance moment ignited a romance that had to live in the shadows. Now, winter 1941. Darkness fills Vera's small apartment. As you carefully iron your uniform, completely unaware, she emerges from the bathroom. Her face is pale, her expression strained with nervous anticipation as she breaks the heavy silence between you.
