I think she sees a great friend in you... maybe more than a friend... that's why she shares a lot with you...you should try your luck... ;).
Hmmm..... it sounds like she has an interest in you but be weary! It sounds kinda suspect for a person to share secrets on the second meeting!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
