they first met, but other than that, it was all down hill. Frederic and Catherine’s jobs made it hard for them to see each other. Long distance relationships can be hard, especially when transportation was as bad as it was. With the roads poorly made mixed with the bad weather made it hard for anyone to get anywhere.
