"Well how did you end up in France, then?" Archer asked.
Parisienne Romance [One-On-One // @TurtleOfFreedom]

“Um. Vacation….?” Addie said quietly, trying very much hard not to think of her nameless faceless ex I haven’t figured out the name of yet.
group
(Lol. When two people both break the fourth wall in both of their RPs…)
Archer raised an eyebrow at her disbelievingly. "All right… You're sure?"
//XD
“I think so, yeah,” Addie murmured, rubbing the back of her neck.
group
(They're walking, remember? Lol.)
"You just think so?" Archer gently prodded.
//oh. Whoops.
Addie sighed. “You know how, sometimes, life happens, and then you are cowardly, and then you run from it?”
group
(Lol. ;P)
"Yes," Archer said with a nod. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. "If you don't want to talk about it, that's okay."
“I appreciate it,” Addie said, smiling half-heartedly. “Maybe someday, okay?”
group
"I will listen if you ever want to talk," Archer agreed with a small smile.
“Thanks,” Addie nodded.

Archer stopped when they reached the middle of the bridge. He led Addie to the railing and looked over the dark water.
"What do you think of the city so far?" he asked quietly.
“It’s beautiful,” Addie whispered, but she wasn’t looking at the city.
group
(Is she calling Archer beautiful? XD)
Archer glanced over at Addie. "Yes, yes it is," he murmured.
//maaaaayyyybbbbbbeeeeee :P
group
(Lol.
Archer: I'm not beautiful. I'm ruggedly handsome…)
Addie flushed and looked at the water, counting on her hair to fall over her face and hide the blush. It happily complied. Addie smiled to herself. Maybe Paris is the city of love after all…
group
(Awwwwwwww!)
Archer saw her blush in the split second before her hair covered it and smiled. He reached out and gently tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Let's move this away from your pretty face," he said softly.
Addie blushed again, not taking her eyes off the sparkling water. She was slightly afraid that moving would break the spell.
group
Archer's hand lingered on her cheek for a moment before he pulled away gently. He looked down at the water, heat rising to his face.
"Sorry," he muttered, feeling like he stepped out of line. He'd only just met the girl, and he was already falling for her…
Addie shook her head. “Oh, no, no, you misunderstand, you’re… ah…. fine.”
group
"Are you sure?" Archer asked gently, placing a hand on top of hers.
Addie nodded. “Yes,” she whispered. “I’m sure.”
group
Archer grinned and intertwined their fingers.
"Then you wouldn't mind if I held your hand?" he asked, though he was already doing so.
“Nope,” Addie smiled, squeezing his hand. “I quite enjoy it, actually.”
group
"As do I," Archer agreed softly. Without breaking eye contact, he brought her hand to his lips and lightly kissed the back of it.
Addie flushed. She wasn’t self concious about the people milling about near them. Her world narrowed to Archer and herself.
group
Archer lowered their hands. He was smiling gently as he continued to look into her eyes.
"Would you like to see the Eiffle Tower at night?" he asked softly.
“Yeah,” Addie whispered, meeting his steady gaze.
//I’m really tempted for her to just say “kiss me already” but I feel like that’s too rushed :P
group
(Lol. Yeah, kinda. He totally wants to, though, but he knows it's too soon.)
"I'll take you. We can eat there, as well. That friend of mine can get us a spot," Archer declared with a grin. He looked up and saw the sky darkening, then looked back to Addie. "But we have to hurry before it's too late…"
