   Summary

   "And why do you stare at me that way?"

   "I can't help but think, sir—"

   "Yes?"

   "We've met before."

   At 19, Maria fell in love with a sailor twice her age whose past haunted him. Years later, she finds herself face to face with him again, with her own past nipping at her heels. AU, chapter one begins in 1933. (This is very long and probably should have been broken into three stories.)
