It was a nice peaceful night and hardly no one was stirring. Well almost no one. sitting by a warm fire was a jean villenuve a dashing french soldier who had bravely volenteered to travel from france leaving all he knew and loved to come help train the new militia and to fight the british.Things had gone well so far the militia had grown and the british were crumbling everyday most would celbrate but not jean deep down his heart cried for one person who he knew was long gone from this world that was his lovely wife marigold along with his two daughters.
Why! he cried sofly. why must fate be so cruel and unforgiving that they must take you away from me so soon my beutiful angel! he gently wiped the tears away wondering why he had not gone first he had always been ready to go first but never guessed he would have to bury his wife and children and almost wished he see them once more if not only for a moment just to know how much he loved and missed them.as the night went on he looked up at the stars and thought back on happier times and recalled the day he first time he laid eyes on his angel.
FLASHBACK ----------------------------
It had been a busy day for 23 year old jean villenuve. he had just enroled in the millatary and could not wait to be able to fight for his country. he had left to get away from his mother veronica villenuve not that she was not caring but she wouldnt get off the subject of marriage! she would constantly remind him he wasnt going to be 23 forever and needed to find him a nice french women to settle down with and start a family of his own like his brother franchesko. though it sounded nice marriage had been the last thing on his mind he was young he had all the time in the world to find the right woman at the moment all he wanted to do was focase on his millatary career and nothing more or so he thought.He quickly made his way down the street to the recruting station to meet with his father pierre one of the greatest war generals france had ever seen since his great grandfather jean tristan villenuve for who he was named after.he was just about to enter the building when he accidently bumped into something small and light. When he looked up he couldnt believe the vision that greeted him.
OH! excues me monsier i was not paying attention to where i was going i hope i havent troubled you to much with my clumsiness! exclaimed the delicate french accent.
Jean couldnt believe his eyes he had bumped into what he thought to be the most beutiful girl no! the most beutiful woman in all of paris! she had long blonde hair a slim but curvy figure and the most beutiful lips that would make a godess jealouse. but what really made her stand out was her dark green eyes oh how he wished he could gaze into those eyes and be lost forever in paradise. he was suddenly snapped out of his day dream and noticed how much of an idiot he must have looked.jean bowed polietly and answered her concerned expression.
no cheri it is i who was not paying attention and must apoligize for my foolish behavior please forgive me for i was blinded by your beauty and grace and if i do not sound too bold may i introduce myself i am jean villenuve and it is a pleasure meeting you.
she gave a shy smile and gladly returned the gesture.
im pleased to meet you monsier villenuve allow me to introduce myself i am marigold delacour and very pleased to make your aqaintence on this lovely spring day.
suddenly they were interrupted by none other than jean's brother franchesko himself who called to his brother with a wide grin.
Hey jean you just gonna stand there all day like an idiot and keep father waiting or are your going to move like a normal human being! he shouted at the top of his lungs so all around could hear.
jean suddenly felt a little embaressed and answerd back.
Ill be right with you in moment he replied impaitiently to his older brother.
marigold turned and replied. i am so so so sorry for keeping you this long i too must take my leave or my mother will start to worry herself sick! well it was a real pleasure meeting you monsier villenuve and i hope we have this chance to meet again real soon.
he smiled and took her hand and replied the pleasure was all mine miss delcour and will gladly wait for that day when our paths shall cross. he finished by kissing her hand and bowing once more he turned to go. but before he did he turned and and said his goodbye.
aurevoir my dear marigold!
aurevoir my dear jean!
with that they parted ways and jean made his way over to his older brother who was still smiling just as you pleased.
jean gave a smirk and and playfully punched his brother for his actions earlier.

Ohhhh you and mother were at it againg about the whole marrige thing again but dont let that get to you baby brother when the right woman comes along you'll know!
jean just looked and nodded and walked inside with his brother his mind still on those green eyes.
