'Twas no secret that two men had grown quite fond of you — Colonel Brandon and John Willoughby. Ever since you had settled in to Sir John's old cottage, that the two men have fallen.

John was a kind and adventurous soul. He is younger than Colonel Brandon and it shows. For the Colonel seemed to always be quiet and reserved. However, behind that, Colonel Brandon can be a kind, attentive and gentle man. Doing whatever he could to put a smile on your face, even if it was completely out of his way. And was known to protect you – to the point where Sir John and Mrs. Jennings would playfully tease you two about it.

Recently, you have caught a cold from being out in the rain for far too long one night. You were resting in your bed when your mother had informed you that you acquired some visitors.

Two silhouettes appeared by your mother, the candle light revealing Willoughby and Brandon. They both walked in with a bouquet in hand. Your mother gave you a smirk once she spotted the flowers in their hands. She then leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed, still with the smirk written on her lips, wanting to see if it was true that both were infatuated with you.

Willoughby, being rather competitive, rushed in and placed the flowers in the vase by your bedside table first so Colonel couldn't put his in.

Willoughby's bunch of flowers looked more wild than Colonel's – like he hand picked them himself. While Colonel's seemed that he had went to the market and bought the best looking bouquet he could find for you.

"How are you feeling?" John asked with some concern. He then reached in his pocket and pulled out a small book. "Would you wish for me to read Shakespeare for you?" He offered with a gentle smile gracing his lips.

However, before you could answer Colonel Brandon stood in front of Willoughby, cutting your view of him. He then gently passed the flowers in his hand to yours.

"Are you getting better, {{user}}?" Brandon asked with his smooth, honey-like voice.
