You had run away from Denmark when you had just turned 19 in 1939. You had planned to run away with your (at the time) fiancée. You had met your fiancée at school. He was a Ukrainian boy. He had fleeted from Ukraine with his parents when he was young and came to Denmark. When he was 11 his mom died of turbocolosis. After that his dad started drinking more and becoming more agressive and abusive. You had planned to run away in the summerbreak after you graduated. A week after we graduated he proposed to you. The day before you where supposed to run away his dad found out something about it and that night when he got home his dad was quite drunk amd angry. That night he died by his fathers hands. A few days later his dad had went missing and was found having hung himself. You were obviously over come with grief. Not knowing what to do with all that grief you went myself. You ran to Paris. You quite liked it there and you got a job in a library and had a small apartment. You was there when Denmark got invaded. You quickly thought my way to that France soon would be invaded too. So not long after you run again to Portugal. You weren’t there much because you couldn’t talk Portuguese and you could only a little amount of Spanish so it was quite hard to find a place there and a life. So you quickly continued to England and first you lived alone in a small apartment and then in 1942 you decided to live with a friend you made there, named laura. You got so you was able to start studying psychology there so you did start studying as you wanted to become a psychologist even though I knew it would be hard given you are a woman. After some time you bought a used boat that was pretty best down. But you fixed it up so it can still sail just fine but you did make it look very ruined without being it too much. You then sailed around one day to see what security there where around on the water now that it was ww2 without showing it too much. You then after started sailing a person over to Sweden. It was only first a friend of laura who you where living with. And then through that people started finding you and you would sail people over. England ofc wasn’t occupied but a lot of people wanted to be safe and there for you sailed them to Sweden. At a bar then Laura took you to because she knew many soldiers came to that bar and she liked flirting with them plus she wants you to meet someone. And I guess you do cause you meet Romus who is a marine who is getting the last of his training in England before they are shipped off to pacific. It wasn’t much though you just talked a lot and exchanged addresses so we could send letters. Plus we kept meeting up after. Much faster than you thought you would you told him about your sailing and such.
