Fall from Innocence

by CharlRhodes

Francis and Arthur are made for each other. Fascinated by eighteenth century literature, smarts, cynical, they are sure they don't belong in this time. And especially a burning desire to assert their omnipotence. So what better to become the Vicomte de Valmont and the Marquise de Merteuil? Some rules, many prey maximum trophies. They are masters of a cruel and dangerous game.

Letter 3

Arthur to Francis

In Bonifacio

Yes, why not? I always dreamt of a friend who understands me and especially who is afraid of nothing. Prejudices you might say. Of course, your reputation as a "turbulent" is firmly established, and you have dealt with black eyes enough times to provide proof. More simply, admit it takes a little courage to tell me that we are made to get on, like that, without any other knowledge of me that my wardrobe.
Of you I know that you are one year older than me, you speak loudly, your girlfriend is ugly and less of what has been said above, you're feisty. Our correspondence does not turn to love and all is for the best. I am eager to discover that behind a withered eye three times a year. Tell me what your reading, I will tell you mine. For the rest, my favorite color is green, I love classical music and big cities, I'm English, I sunburn easily, and spend my holidays in Menton at the address indicated at the back of the envelope.

From Menton, July 19 19**
