«Stephanie»

Marcel Yudin was a young and ambitious guy who fell madly in love with a beautiful girl named Stefania Guryeva. She was the owner of wonderful beauty, high intelligence, and belonged to a noble family. Marcel was an ordinary guy who had only one goal, to meet his lover for life. The girl's parents were rich people. The mother had her own factory, and the father was the owner of a large bank. Marcel worked at a fair, where he earned money for a living by trading. Here he met Stephanie, however, despite all his efforts to speak, he failed, she did not pay any attention. Marcel understood that his interest and love was impossible. They were people from different classes, she was rich and beautiful, and he was an ordinary guy with a brave and kind heart, behind whom was only his parents' wooden house. He couldn't stop himself from trying to win her heart. Thanks to friends, I found out in which estate she lives. The estate was luxurious and at the same time cozy in a lakeside grove. The next day, putting on his best clothes, he went to her estate, he waited for her for about a day. When she left the house, Yudin walked up to Guryeva with quick and confident steps and said: "Don't drive me away, let me tell you. You conquered me with your beauty, I appeal to your kind heart, let me invite you on a date?"

" We don't even know each other ," Stephanie answered.

"I only need one meeting with you," said Marcel

- But father... I don't know how he will behave if he finds out about you.

— Do you think that a father will be against his daughter's dating and relationships?

- Maybe. He is too demanding of my future boyfriend and often makes decisions for me. — Guryeva said in a sad voice.

"I'll talk to your father, I'll be able to convince him, believe me."

- Fine. If you have time, we can take a walk in the botanical garden not far from home. - Stephanie said.

- Yes, sure! - Marcel answered happily.

While in the botanical garden, some time later, Guryeva, turning her head to Yudin, asked:

- What do you do?

— Usually I don't have time, I'm always at the fair and selling. I have a favorite hobby. - Marcel answered.

— Can I ask about your hobby? - Stephanie said.

— I love to draw pictures, and I once had a dream of opening my own gallery with original paintings, but it never came true. - said Marcel.

"You have a wonderful dream, I'm also interested in painting, I think you'll succeed." By the way... my mother loves art ... I understand that it's too early to introduce you to your parents, but I believe that you have many common interests ," Stephanie said.

- I think this is a good idea, we will definitely find common interests - Marcel.

- Today I will tell my parents about our meeting. Shall we meet tomorrow at the fair at eleven o'clock in the morning? - Stephanie.

- Fine. - Marcel answered.

After a long walk in the botanical garden, Guryeva said: "It's already late, I have to go home, thank you for this wonderful evening."

"Then I'll take you home," Yudin answered.

Stephanie agreed.

On the way home, Marcel and Stephanie chatted cheerfully as if they had known each other for a thousand years.

Stopping at the gate of the house, Marcel gently and insinuatingly touched the girl's hand, he tenderly looked into her eyes.

"Thank you, Marcel, for this wonderful evening," Guryeva said, shyly closing her eyes and a gentle blush covering her cheeks.
