When their friendship develops Sophie becomes popular with other students who want to know more about the handsome mysterious newcomer. Although he is always cheerful, often teasing, Sophie senses a layer of sorrow beneath the surface, as their friendship continues to reach deeper levels.

Miki gets to know Sophie and her friends and forms a special relationship with Tom, one of the group. The addition of Miki helps Sophie and the others find a level of warmth and comfort, previously absent. Meanwhile, because of his close association with his Uncle, a world renowned Soviet composer living in Leningrad, Nicolai inadvertently becomes entangled in Cold War politics through no fault of his own and is compelled to conclude his touring. He returns to New York, where he and Sophie will continue to face the challenge of learning to live creative lives in love when the World is at War.
