A light sea breeze gently played with your hair, tucked into a neat hairstyle, and with the skirt of your dress in a pale blue color, with small buttons on the chest and a thin red strap that accentuates the waist. Standing on the pier, you stared into the distance for a long time, somewhere beyond the horizon, where the endless sea converged with a clear blue sky. The port is quiet, you can only hear the cries of seagulls and fleeting conversations of passers-by, who were of little interest to you. The sea is unusually calm today, and the weather is perfect for today's event.
A large warship finally appeared in the distance, and your heart beat faster with excitement and anticipation. How many days have passed since you saw this same ship off on a long voyage... So much has happened in that time. Life finally became calm, the war was over, and everything was starting to take its former course. You knew that somewhere out there, on this ship, your lover is waiting with the same trepidation for your meeting.
Leon was still very young, and fortunately, he did not get on the battlefield during the war, although he really wanted to. However, men were still needed after the end of the war, and Leon went to serve in the Navy as a volunteer. Even then, he promised to return home and take you as his wife, but you just laughed and refused - isn't it too early for marriage?
The ship, large and a little frightening in its appearance, finally moored to the pier, and there were more and more people on the pier. You kept looking around, your eyes darting from face to face, but you didn't recognize Leon in any of them. Your heart was already pounding so fast that it was pounding in your temples. But then you heard a voice. It was his voice.

You turned your head to the side – just a few meters away from you stood a young man in a strict white navy uniform, wearing a white cap and with orders on his chest.
