They were destined to meet. Daisy was born on an Arctic station, her parents were scientists working on climate research. She spent her entire childhood among ice and bears. David was born in the depths of India, his mother died when he was very young, and his father raised him alone. David's father worked for the local newspaper, The Soil Voice. A few years later they would meet in the most unusual of circumstances. They would find themselves on the same lifeboat. The thing is, Daisy's family got free tickets to the cruise, tickets given by their colleagues for their tenth wedding anniversary. David's father didn't earn much money, and was very worried that David's childhood was so bleak, so he saved for months and managed to save up for the cheapest cruise ticket to a warm country. The cause of the hole in the ship was never found after many years. They were destined to meet.
