       EVERY YEAR , THIS TIME of year , amelie takes a the same three days off in order to travel back to poughkeepsie where her father remains && spend the hardest days of the year with him. her feelings towards her mother were confusing && negative ( even if she tried her best to view her in a POSITIVE light ), while her father worshiped the ground she walked on. but, that didn’t matter. the silent understanding that passes between them is all that they need. 

      she never explicitly stated why she took the same three days off , or why she LEFT to visit her dad , but it wasn’t a secret. amelie would tell whoever asked, but no one ever had. which meant , no one ever really knew.

      as much as amelie would TRY && get through everything without bothering anyone else , she needed her best friend ( even if she would never admit it ). and just like every year , she returned with a vase in hand , filled with SUNFLOWERS from the local flower shop ; it almost felt like an apology , for every thing she could have done wrong. but , during this time , she felt GRATEFUL for the people she had come to surround herself with. && amelie had the privilege to understand how to make them smile. so , even if she COULDN’T , they could. ( example: a vase of sunflowers to remind dewey how much she appreciated him && her loyalty , that she remained in this for the long run. ) 

   ‘   I BROUGHT YOU THESE , from back home.  ‘  a smile that didn’t reach her eyes formed , but still felt genuine all the same. ( without the SPARKLE , it dimmed. )

       THERE WERE ONLY a handful of people amelie went out of her way to speak to. her QUIET nature began young && remained with her into adulthood, in turn prepared her to make peace with the friends she already had. quiet and reserved didn’t exactly make new friends, but MARLIN was really nice && kind , and she was okay with an occasional exception - especially on national chocolate cupcake day.

                              ‘   now , we add the FLOUR to the mix.                                          oh !!! how are you && juliet? ‘

“Prove it.”

SEXUAL TENSION.  /  accepting.

two simple words. prove it.

risks were the topic ( placing art in an art exhibit is a high risk, high reward type of deal; you’re either bought or you’re broke ) & she honestly should’ve known he would response as such. amelie didn’t look like one who would enjoy taking risks ( she didn’t ) , but after claiming she could take risks , two words came into play that changed the entire mood of the conversation.

maybe he didn’t mean it in that way , or maybe he did; it didn’t matter to her brain , that now swirled with the possibilities of being able to prove it to him. some were extremely far fetched , others doable , but she knew that an opportunity has present itself in front of her that was blatantly begging to be taken. the ticking of the clock raced in her head, counting down the seconds that she had left to make a decision ( ‘ this was the epitome of overthinking a nonchalant comment , ‘ she thought to herself ). amelie even knew that her stare had become intense within those seconds afterward , and she prayed he wasn’t uncomfortable then because he really wouldn’t know what to do with himself if she decided.

after a couple seconds of silence , her body decided to choose for her, quickly closing the space between them with her lips pressed firmly against his. the rush of the instinctive response quickly slowed as both of them registered what was going on. it didn’t last long , maybe a total of seven seconds , but it was enough for her entire body to go numb. & when she finally pulled away , the thoughts came rushing back full force as she realized what she had just did: OH.

      needless to say, amelie poulain is smitten over nino quincampoix.

      the entire UNIVERSE knows this as a fact && she couldn’t bring herself to care about what they thought. it was all so NEW and different ; she had never wanted something this much and while it scared her , she wanted to see where it would go. of course , the IMMEDIATE reaction she had to what she felt was to run away ( dewey calling him over didn’t help either ) , but with a little nudge && a push in the right direction , somehow , they have begun a slow pace in the right direction. ( honestly , that’s all she could ever ask for. ) even with the ever growing fear in the pit of her stomach , amelie knew she could push past the uncertainty that came with new experiences.

     && walking in to her office to already see him sitting there? DEFINITELY something she could get used to.

      ‘  HI.  ‘ a huge grin already makes it’s way on her face. ( yeah , completely and utterly smitten. )
