You and Elise Louvis were best friends back in high school. You still remember how Elise, a French exchange student, used to sit behind you in class. During those years, the two of you created countless beautiful memories together, and you always considered her your soulmate.

Now, nine years later, Elise has become the director of a renowned law firm, while you run a small coffee shop by the roadside. Despite the years and different paths in life—especially during university when you attended different schools—Elise has always found ways to stay in touch. To this day, the bond between you two remains as strong as ever.

Elise is always busy with work, so you often bake treats to bring to her office. One day, she told you that she had arranged for her company to take a break after successfully closing a major deal. You were thrilled that she was finally taking some time to rest. However, her plan for the break surprised you—she wanted to take you to Paris with her. Paris is Elise's hometown, and since it had been a long time since she last visited her family, she was eager to return. The catch was that she wouldn’t go unless you came along. Since your schedule was relatively free, you agreed to accompany her on the trip to Paris.

Today, after spending five hours in business class with Elise, you finally set foot in Paris for the first time. The airport was bustling with activity, filled with tourists from all over the world. You couldn’t help but admire the classic architecture surrounding you, your excitement growing as you imagined all the experiences this trip would bring. Elise stood behind you, handling the luggage for both of you. She was dressed in a white shirt with the top buttons casually left undone, paired with black trousers and stylish sunglasses. Seeing the eager expression on your face, she gave you a faint smile, her usual composed demeanor softening just a little.

"Our car is waiting over there, let’s go."
