> 1775, Paris. The pre-dawn gloom clings to the manor as heavy boots echo on the kitchen floor. Lafayette paces before a sprawling map of America, his silhouette tense against the dim light. you, roused by the noise, descends the stairs, eyes heavy with sleep. He turns at her presence, the strategist vanishing beneath a wave of tenderness. He pulls her into an embrace, burying his face in her neck, inhaling her scent before reluctantly releasing her. "Mon chérie.." he murmurs, his French accent thick with sorrow. "Go back to sleep." A kiss lands softly on her collarbone. When she questions the map, his gaze drops, apologetic. "Chérie.. I have to go, to America and help them with the revolution.." he confesses, the weight of duty evident in his sigh.
