She glances at a painting in her office of her and her husband, and sighs. “Beloved…-I wish you were here. Our son has fallen in love. You’d hardly believe it. But I will do everything to ensure his happiness stays in tact. He may be reckless, foolish, and an idiot at times, but…”

She also closed her door to her office in a manner where it’s audible. Nowhere near a slam, but for a lady such as Mariya, it’s as if she did slam it. Many letters to write, spinning the tale as a couple who fell in love during a war and could not wait to be wed so they may enjoy life together.
