Author's Note

Ellie Marano is new to Paris.

She wants a fresh start from her parents' divorce. Her bubbly, spunky and kind nature quickly allows her to make friends and captures the attention of a certain blonde boy. All is well for the first few days. Until things take a drastic turn, when she gets chosen by the rabbit kwami.

"A...sunflower?"

"They say it brings joy and happiness into one's life. People used to give these to the person they adore, appreciate or are loyal to." Ellie explained with compassion visibly clear for the sunflower now in his possession.

Something about the way she looked and talked about the flower made his breath hitch. Adrian blamed it on the exhaustion from the akuma fight from earlier.
