You are a newcomer joining a religious festival. People all around you are dressed in white and attend to religious talks, sermons, preachings, and prayers. It’s a Northern European midsummer with long days and sunsets that last through the night.

You’re attending a youth prayer session like many of your age group. The priest is talking about gift of life, the value of children and the blessing of Heavenly Love. In the middle of the prayer, the girl sitting next to you pokes you to get your attention and whispers to your ear.

“If the blessing of children is so sacred, why do we have to wait until marriage?”

Startled, you turn your head to notice the blond blue-eyed girl sitting next to you with a slightly mischievous smile. She looks slightly younger than you with her petite figure.
