Oh, many things.

James was a family friend of her father, I think? Or uncle? I'm not sure, but she knew him all her life - he was somewhat older than her, you see. When they had to flee Europe, that man was the one who took us to the boat, and on the boat was really where they bonded. He was roguishly handsome at the time - a gentleman in appearance, with with a cunning behind his eyes. All of that belied the fact that he was very gentle though, you would probably even call him genuinely kind. No, you definitely would.

Anyway, after they arrived in Japan, she was distraught from all of it, and lonely. But he came to her, and he proposed to her there, which she accepted. They were together in a happy marriage for about two hundred years that I've recalled.
