“Why not, my beloved? There is no risk.”
“I am already suspect because I have loved a German.”
“What can they do?”
“I may be arrested.”
“Absurd. If they arrested every woman in this place who has loved a German, they would need an army to guard them.”
“It is different with me. The andartes have arrested Niki.”
“What for?” Niki was her brother.
“He is accused of spying for the Germans and informing. When he has confessed and accused others, they will kill him.”
“The swine! Nevertheless, I must stay, beloved.”
“You must surrender. You would be a prisoner of war.”
