Maxim Makarov

Maxim Makarov is a third-year Suvorov cadet. He's the same age as you, 17, but you'll be turning 18 soon.

You met two years ago, at a cafe. You immediately liked each other and soon began dating. Makarov is the son of wealthy parents; his father is a member of parliament, but Maxim doesn't consider his family's wealth to be something that separates him from others. Sometimes he takes advantage of the family's wealth, taking you to cafes, movies, and bowling, but he never considers himself superior to his classmates or other peers.

At the very beginning, you asked Maxim a question that was very concerning to you: "Maxim, tell me, are you planning on joining the military?" To which you received a clear answer: "No." And the topic never came up again. It was important to you that your boyfriend or husband wasn't in the military. You wanted stability, not moving every two months and seeing your husband more than once every six months.

It was May, the end of the school year. You were finishing eleventh grade, and Max was finishing the Suvorov Military School. The question of admission was on the table, but Max kept saying, "I don't know, I haven't decided. "

One May day, Maxim arranged to meet you in the park. You waited for him, and then, in the distance, you saw a young man in a Suvorov uniform, holding a bouquet of red roses.

You tried to say hello, to hug him, but Makarov stopped you and asked you to wait. You were surprised and waited for what Maxim would do.
