Four cousins and their best friends reunite in Paris, France in hopes of having a small break from the harsh realities of college life. Only to discover, things never go as planned as personal relationships get mixed, feelings are hurt...
"Wow, Mr. Grayson these flowers are so pretty, who are they for?"
This kind woman attending the flower stand asks as she gently wraps them in brown parchment paper.
Every time I had previously passed this small stand I continually thought of Aiden. His aroma could only be described as a strange mixture of clean laundry and freshly cut roses. And whenever I passed by this petite stand on the street I had always dreamed of coming home with flowers for him.
But these were trivialities previously impossible and now I could finally give him the love I had wanted to extend to him all these years. I wanted to make him feel like the most beautiful man who ever walked the earth and give him what he deserved and more.
"Just a small gift for my significant other. I'm afraid I haven't surprised him as much as I've wanted to these past years and after some reflection, I've come to change my ways." I tell her and she smiles at me with these bright blue eyes unlike any I had ever seen before.
And although they were quite encapsulating there was something else in them, a familiarity almost gone unremembered.
"Do I know you, madam?" I ask straight out, wanting to see if my perceived feeling had any truth.
She looks up at me and stops for a second Before stuttering out her answer.
"No Mr. Grayson You do not know me and I only know you from the newspapers on the street." She says.
I had this feeling in my gut that she was lying but I choose to ignore it. She's just a harmless older woman.
I saw no reason to be alarmed.

I walk up the stairs to Aiden's room and walk in without knocking. Unable to hold back.
"Hello?"
I call out with the only response being my echo reverberated back to me.
"Huh,"
I walk through the rest of the house calling out his name.
"Tae?" I turn around to find Mari in the kitchen yawning.
"Hey, do you know where the others are?" I ask and he shrugs.
"Last I saw, Aiden, Hamie, and Clara were going grocery shopping this morning but they haven't come back since and Finley's been standing on his balcony fighting with someone over the phone. I'm starting to think Clara stole our men from us," Mari giggles and I look down at my phone trying to call Aiden.
But I almost immediately hear the ringing coming from behind me.
Confused I put the flowers down and walk over to trace his phone, only to find it in the fruit basket along with Clara and Jamie's phones.
Mari follows behind me and we both turn to each other with the same amount of fright.
