Chapter 1

Lawyer Olof Berg drove up to Dalarna deep in thought and noticed nothing of the wonderful nature that lined the road, over which his car sped forward at high speed. He was 

overwhelmed by the feeling that he must hurry, before his reason won over his emotions and made him forego this journey. Of course he was foolish, but why not be so….?

He thought back to everything that had happened in the last four years. At Eva Lund, his secretary. He still remembered how surprised he had been when he saw her for the first time, because in his mind he had imagined her completely differently. It was a habit with him, or maybe it was a bad habit, to always imagine a person in a certain way, before he questioned the person. Most of the time he was right, but this time he had been completely wrong. According to the grades and recommendations, the applicant would be an unusually skilled secretary. He imagined her as a cold and efficient professional woman, hyper-energetic with something restless about her, and that was exactly what a successful, progressive, modern lawyer needed as a secretary. And before him, to his surprise, stood a little girl with sweet femininity radiating from her whole being. Her Madonna-like face was framed by bright golden hair, gathered into a beautiful hairstyle. Her whole being expressed a state of calm and harmony. Anti-hunting propaganda in human form. He was so surprised that he asked again: "Eva Lund?". No, it wasn't a mistake. Eva Lund was the capable secretary with the beautiful grades. He also later received tangible proof of that. The beneficent calm with which she surrounded herself, she retained, no matter how intense and nerve-wracking the work was and how the trials sometimes caused the air in the law office to vibrate with anxiety and nervous tension. The only thing he had against his new secretary was that she was engaged, but what did he, one of the town's most wanted bachelors, have to do with that?

A year later she married her aviator and was so beautiful in her happiness that he felt empty inside when he compared his life to hers. That since she started working for him, he had come to make comparisons between his female friends and her. Curiously, this affected his choice of life partner and he remained unmarried to the surprise of many. How his companions at the law firm would have laughed, if they knew his secret. His tenderness for his secretary, a tenderness which he did not even want to admit to himself. Unfortunately, he has to admit that she has become an element of concern within him, completely without her knowledge, due to her characteristic of being a woman.

Three months after the wedding, something terrible happened to Eva. Her husband's plane collided with another during a major maneuver and on impact caught fire. Eva became a young widow in the line of many other pilot widows. In a shocked state, she was taken to the infirmary, and when he talked to the doctor, he was informed that they were worried about her, because she had lost all zest for life and did not want to live any longer. The only possibility would be if she could be persuaded to start work again, because then perhaps time would again make her realize that, despite all the difficulties, life could still have a lot in store for her, who had actually just begun life. He still froze at the memory of the times he had to sit by her sick bed and try to get her to realize that he had to get her help for the big trial, which was just then being prepared at the law firm.
