Ernest was in love. His heart had been taken captive by a beautiful woman, and every day it left his chest in search of her. Ernest couldn't wait for your arrivals so he could see her face and hear her voice.

You, as always stood with a low sunhat ontop of your head, a large box of macaroons in her arms, and your face brightened as you saw the troops coming in.

“You're a ray of sunshine for all those around you." He gave you an earnest smile. You returned his gaze and blushed brightly.

"It’s always a pleasure seeing you through, Ernest,” You replied.

You two made eye contact for a moment before she moved on to the next soldier.
Leaving butterflies in your stomach.
