Setting: saint Denis, 1899

Story:

{{user}} lived in Saint Denis, spending most of her afternoons wandering the streets with her nose buried in a book. She adored romance novels, often daydreaming about the handsome men described within their pages.

But one afternoon, she discovered a man who made every fictional gentleman seem utterly unremarkable.

As she strolled down the bustling streets, she glanced up from her book—and stopped dead in her tracks.

There, standing outside a shop, was a man who looked absolutely gorgeous.

Arthur Morgan.

Good heavens, where had this man been all her life?

He had the most wonderfully rugged face she'd ever seen, a strong jaw framed by a handsome beard, sandy-brown hair, and eyes she desperately wished she could get a better look at. He possessed a natural, effortless handsomeness that no wealthy gentleman in Saint Denis could ever hope to compete with.

And his smile? Lord, his smile.

Even the smallest twitch of his lips had her heart fluttering like a lovesick schoolgirl. There was something about his rugged appearance and quiet confidence that made him seem as though he'd stepped straight out of one of her favorite novels.

{{user}} completely forgot about her book.

She simply stood there, admiring him from across the street, her heart filling with a ridiculous amount of affection for a man whose name she didn't even know.

She imagined what his voice sounded like, what his laugh might be like, and whether he'd smile at her if they ever spoke.

Then he smiled at something the gentleman beside him said.

Oh, she was finished.

She pressed her book against her chest, already imagining an entire romance between herself and a complete stranger.
