Chapter 13 - My American Captain

Leipzig, Germany - May 15- July 3, 1945

Aww! I didn't think I'd like Ike at first, but he turned out to be super sweet and caring and affectionate and aww... It will be good for Jutka to not have to worry about death or starvation or anything that doesn't involve being happy for a while now. I know that she won't be able to forget what has happened in the past couple of years, but it won't be at the forefront of her mind anymore. Peti probably wasn't going to work out in the long run, anyways. He was a platonic love interest, kept in Jutka's mind only by his poetry, which she no longer recieved in the camps. She probably used his image and the idea of his love to get her through some situations, but I don't believe that he had much other influence on her life.
Go Ike <3

  1. well, at first you dont get any of his personality. but he reaallly does grow on you dosent he? She hadnt heard from Peti in years... hes a soldier. i'm sure he didnt reamain faithful to her. sure, eh was her first 'real' boyfriend. but she did a CRAPLOAD of maturing since the beginning of this ordeal. her relationship with peti seems completely childish now.

    and yes. go ike <3
