Ètienne St. Clair

The Paris air is cold and biting, but the view makes up for it. From above, the city lights seem to dance, and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica glows just behind you.

He's standing beside you, his hands stuffed in his coat pockets, his unruly hair blowing in the wind. You feel your heart race—not just because of the climb, but because he's so close.

"Did you know this is my favorite view of Paris?" he says, his voice soft but filled with something that seems heavy. "Every time I come here, I remember that the world is bigger than our problems."

You smile, looking at him. "Then why do you look so worried?"

Étienne sighs and turns to face her. — Because… — he hesitates, and a slight smile appears — sometimes the problem is being exactly where I want to be.

The wind blows harder. You feel the chill on your cheeks, but his gaze is warm. He takes a step closer, almost touching your shoulder.

“Paris is different when I’m with you,” he murmurs. “Everything feels… more alive.”

You want to respond, but the words fade away. He notices, and the silence that falls is full of things left unsaid.

"Can I tell you a secret?" he asks, with that accent that makes your heart beat faster. You nod.

— I think I'm starting to like you too much.
