When Hannah Brandenburg first showed up at the orphanage, she just wanted to ask for a job. She was currently working in the space industry but wanted to do something more social. Viljo very quickly explained to her that everyone there was a volunteer and that she was welcome to help but they were in no position to pay her, especially not more than NASA could.
So, that idea was off the table, but the two of them kept talking and talking. Viljo suggested to take a walk at the Brindleton Bay lighthouse together to continue their conversation. Somehow it felt like they had known each other for years. They talked about their respective work and didn't even feel the time passing.
"I wish I was 30 years younger!", Viljo said when he looked into Hannah's eyes. He had always wished for a connection like this but somehow he had always been too busy to find it.
"I think you're perfect just like you are", Hannah said.
They couldn't bring themselves to say goodbye.
It was clear that they wanted each other.
"Have you ever been to the lighthouse?" Hannah said suddenly.
"The Lighthouse? No, why?"
"I'll show you! Come on!" and she skipped away so fast, Viljo could hardly keep up with her.
