Who saved whose life on their first chance meeting in the bitter cold throes of winter? Tom, a businessman, no longer wanted to live unable to cope with the recent loss of his wife, so he chose a watery grave. But was it fate that brought it all together? She originated from Iraq and was with her young daughter, Lena. Both would have frozen to death while trying to sleep in a summerhouse on Dover Promenade. She managed to stop Tom from jumping into the sea, but knowing what he was about to do, it took a lot of persuasion before she would agree to venture back to the warmth of his house.
