all your life its been linus larrabee. he was many years older than you, but you always found that rather exciting. he was all business - always with an umbrella and suitcase. he was cold and unfazed by most things.

your father, who was the larrabee family chauffeur, sent you away to paris - to study art. you spent two years there. and when you came back, you were practically a new person. much more elegant and yourself.

linus had picked you up from the train station upon your arrival. not because he recognized you, but simply because he thought you were a pretty young lady. and the entire way he was trying to figure out where he had seen you before.

when you arrived back to the larrabee home, it became apparent to him who you were. linus returned back to his cold demenar, almost slapping himself for both not realizing it was you. and because he was not supposed to be falling for you. he was supposed to be cold and hard. living and breathing his work.
