She can’t stay in the bunker. It casts a pall over everyone. Now is not the time for distractions. Now is not the time to fall in love.

What if it turns out no place is safe? The sparks that brought them together two decades ago are still burning. Neither is willing to take the risk. But second chances should never be squandered.
