❝ but i was falling in love. ❞

the charming man. 

            FLORA BECKER was beauty ━━ she was grace, she was anything but disgrace. With sores, and stony feet as a result of the many graceful leaps and captivating, dizzy turns, the ethereal red head had dreams. Dreams associated with passionate crowds and pretty tutus. Her gift, if you will, was ballet. It was all she knew, much like her mother. She wasn't incredibly intelligent, academic wise, yet if you were to grace her with a pair of silk slippers (passed down from her very mother), you'd be astonished with the many ways her body truly spoke. Her movements laced with such grace and elegance, it was practically impossible to look away.

Flora never knew much about the world ━━ or life of that matter, as she was still experiencing the many adventures of a teen girl. Yet, it's rather safe to say, she'd been exposed to the cruel parts of life, way before she should've. With her mother passing away in the very room just opposite hers, the young Flo being at the mere age of ten, the sickness (which took over her body being too much to bear) and her eldest (only) brother dying as a result of the war, leaving just her and her father to face the world. Though, Wilhelm and Flora Becker have been through much, they knew never to take life and people for granted. 

The pair simply wouldn't know where they would be without the love and support of the March's ━━ who they were proud to call family. After the loss of her only sibling, Flora at last came to realise that she's always had four more. Four wonderful sisters, as well as a mother and second father figure that cherished her with all their heart, and made her feel loved at times she was certain the world was against her. 

Her knowledge of love was minimal. Sure, she'd seen examples ━━ her mother and her father, her brother and his fiancé. But she's never gotten so close to brushing her fingertips against the rim of the intoxicating feeling, until she stumbles into the arms of an unusual, rash boy with a beautiful name, who wanted nothing more than to protect her, 

                 with no knowledge of how much she needed protecting from him and his charming ways.
