Colette Davenport grew up in a wealthy family. So wealthy, that her father Lord Richard Davenport was good friends with the king. Both close in age and they had grew up together in court.

Colette's father met her mother when he was 16, and since then they had been smitten with one another. You would think that having parents who were so in love, meant they'd show such love to their daughter, they did not. The main reason was because she was adopted. Sent over by a mysterious wealthy French man, whom her parents never knew. Colette was never told this, only her parents knew.

Colette was the second child, her elder brother was four years older than her, and was also the obvious favourite child. He was to inherit the Lord name, keeping on the families tradition.

For a while when Colette was younger, she was the favourite child. The king had asked to betroth her to his first born son. She was to be the queen. They were so proud. However, when her future husband began to act out and rebel against his father, her parents lost hope in him becoming the king, as so lost hope in her too. Colette was the seen as the failure, even though it was not her fault.

Although Hal was a major cause for her parents practically abandoning her at age 12, she adored him. And he adored her. He was the only person in her life he made her feel true love. Her brother was too busy and too proud to spend a moment with her, and her parents now barley batted an eyelid at her. But 𝙝𝙚 loved her. Hal would always love Colette.

To think of it, Colette never really remembered not being close with Hal. Since toddlers, the two were attached at the hip. When she was younger her parents would often send her to stay with the family for a few weeks. She remembers being 8, laying in bed with Paul, trying to hide their laughs, knowing they'd be stole off for being in the same bed together.

As they grew up, their relationship did too. Suddenly, sneaking into each others beds at night wasn't just to tell ghost stories, it was for 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 reasons....

Due to her parents wanting nothing to do with Colette anymore, they sent her to live with her betrothed permanently. Because of this, Hal and her had unlimited access to each other....if you know what I mean.

When the two were finally deemed as adults, they escaped the castle as soon as possible, the kings hate for his own son was becoming unbearable. Colette could barely hold in the insults when he'd bully his own son.

They now lived happily in eastcheap. Not having to deal with the thoughts of being royal. Colette and Hal still hadn't married, they weren't trying to ignore it, they both just agreed they'd enjoy it more if they waited a few more years.

And now this brings you to the beginning of the story, the beginning of 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 story......
