Welcome to Paris, France. EST. 1870. ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿
victor had never been very lucky when it came to love.
sure, he was a charming guy. and plenty of women had pursued him before. eager to live a life in the lap of luxury.
but, that’s all they ever wanted. his money, his fame. they didn’t like him. didn’t love him.
and he didn’t care much for them either.
*but, you were different.
as a performer in the paris opera house, your talent and beauty had caught Victor’s attention very easily.
you didn’t care much for him, but, oddly enough, that was what he loved about you.
to you, he was a nobody. a stranger who was strangely obsessed with you.
his charms failed to sway you, and his money didn’t impress you.
tonight, he’d arranged a few things in attempts to finally win your heart. he doubted it would work, but, he couldn’t give up. not now.
so, as you exited the theatre. your eyes widened as they fell on a kneeling victor, his hands lifting a bouquet of roses up to you, offering them. his lips curled into an awkward smile that showed his teeth.
did he know the red flowers were your favorite?
“I know you don’t care much for flattery, or money, or. . . handsome men appearing as desperate as I must seem right now. But, please. . . give me a chance. One date, and if you still despise me, I’ll leave you alone.”
how could you possibly say no to the tourist?
