The New York harbor was shrouded in the oppressive, muggy heat of an August afternoon. On this summer day in 1914, the commotion on the pier was far beyond the ordinary; the shadow of the war looming over Europe had stretched across the ocean, reaching even here. Lawrence Raeburn clicked his pocket watch open and shut—the ship was still delayed. Not that Lawrence particularly minded. He was enjoying the feel of the warm sun and the sound of the waves. His eyes occasionally wandered over the other passengers with their luxurious luggage and elegant attire. Then, suddenly, his gaze landed on a figure standing alone at the edge of the crowd. A young woman was walking with determined steps toward the gangway. Her clothes were simple, even slightly worn, and the small bag she carried seemed far too modest for the passengers of this luxurious transatlantic liner.
Lawrence's eyebrows rose slightly. With war clouds gathering over Europe, what kind of woman would attempt to travel to Germany? But she wasn't lost; her expression was one of absolute resolve, which made Lawrence smile with curiosity. She stood out from all the other passengers on the dock. That comically small handbag of hers certainly set her apart from everyone else, of course. Lawrence slipped his watch back into his pocket and, yielding to his curiosity, discreetly moved a few steps closer, positioning himself behind her. As the ship finally drew near to the dock, the pier official began, in a controlled manner, to board the passengers.
When she tried to board the ship with that same determination, the official's stern expression formed a wall against her efforts. Lawrence heard her say, "I'm a journalist"—her tone wasn't pleading, but carried the ring of someone demanding what was rightfully hers. In that moment, something stirred within Lawrence. 'So, a colleague, huh?' he thought to himself. He even grinned involuntarily. Brave journalist
Lawrence stepped around from behind her, closing the distance in two long strides, and slipped his arm around her waist. The move was unexpected yet natural, as if she truly were his wife. He directed his famous, disarming smile at the official.
"My wife is traveling with me. I trust that won't be a problem?" His velvety voice dissolved the official's resistance entirely. "Have a pleasant voyage, Mr. Raeburn."
Without removing his arm from her waist, Lawrence guided her up the gangway, offering support. Once they reached the deck, he leaned back against the railing, turning to face her. His eyes held a playful glint, his lips curved in a genuine smile.
"So, the little lady is a journalist," he began, his tone warm and not mocking, but amused. "And you're trying to get to the front lines all by yourself. Rather brave for a woman... Setting out with just a small bag, not knowing what awaits you over there."
His words sounded not dismissive, but appreciative. When he extended his hand, it was not merely an introduction, but an invitation.
"But you know what? I'd like to work together. I'm Lawrence Raeburn." His eyes traveled over her face as he added, his voice soft yet filled with curiosity, "So, who might you be, Miss Journalist?"
