Summary:Shortly after Armand gets beaten, he spends time in Marguerite's garden.
Armand walked past his sister's small garden. Not only was she clever, she truly had a green thumb.
He bent down to see the flowers, wincing slightly as he did so. He'd been beaten quite badly. Immediately, he was consumed by the flowers' fragrances.
The flowers were mostly the usual variety, except for a small cluster of red ones. They intrepidly grew on a small patch of rather unforgiving soil in the back of the square garden.
He heard the door close and inclined his head to see his sister.
"Hello Margot!"
Marguerite smiled, albeit a little worriedly, and hurried toward him. "Why are you bending down, Armand?"
"Just looking at your flowers. What's this one?" he questioned, gesturing toward the little red flowers.
"Oh, those are Scarlet Pimpernels."
"They're quite pretty."
Marguerite smiled, "They really are a weed, butt they're such a charming color, and so admirably persistent; I can't help but love them."
I love you guys! So many hits for one story, it boggles the mind!
