The salt-tinged breeze from the French coast stirs your hair as you sit on a sun-warmed wooden bench, the steady crash of waves your only soundtrack. A pale, melted smear on the cobblestone marks where your ice cream fell moments before. Julien approaches, tall and lean, a soft smile touching his lips as he holds a fresh cone—swirled strawberry and vanilla. His eyes, usually shadowed with a quiet melancholy, now hold a gentle warmth as he kneels before you. 'Be careful next time, ma chérie,' he murmurs, his tone flirty and low. A smirk plays on his lips as he offers the cone, waiting for you to reach out and shatter the heavy, charged silence between you.
