Deep blue eyes casually peered around the train car. It seemed she was not being followed, at least not at the moment. She knew that Ivan would notice that she was missing from his household, but it was not unheard of for her to take a trip across the dividing line to the other side of her country. She needed to keep tabs on the entirety, not just the section that was being trapped in Russia’s firm grip.
It was on this occasion, however, that she wasn’t on her way to the Western side of Belarus, but Tallinn. Through hushed snips of conversations and short letters of communication back and forth, she and Eduard Von Bock had formed a sort of alliance behind the Iron Curtain. While they were only in early stages of information, Natalya had great hopes for their continued communication. She had almost chided herself for fancying him, but that was ridiculous and out of the question. Eduard was simply a fellow nation who understood the current issues she was facing, nothing more. Though she tried to maintain her thoughts in this manner, she couldn’t hide the pale blush that threatened to bloom across her cheeks. Perhaps she did think of him from time to time, but it was only in a friendly manner! Yes, of course, only friends.
Crossing her ankles politely, she smoothed her skirt and tugged the last letter of communication the two had out of her pocketbook.
Natalya,
If you are free, please join me at my home in Tallinn. I would really enjoy a visit from you.

Short, simple, and something that wouldn’t let any information leak if it was read by prying eyes. The two wished for freedom. Now they had to figure out how to attain such a thing. It would take time though. Both nations were still weak from the aftermath of the second Great War, and neither was financially stable enough to support their people. It was a lose-lose situation, and they knew it.
As the train pulled into the station at Tallinn, she almost turned around. This was extraordinarily risky, and she knew it. If Ivan or his bosses found out, it could mean destruction of one or both of their countries. A shudder slid down her spine. No, this was worth fighting for, and both of them agreed to it. Besides, this was just a friendly visit between friends, right? No one would be the wiser of their planning.
