My name is Lucas Dubois. Oui, I am french. Most people notice it right off the bat. I've lived a fairly normal life, or I'd like to think it is. My friend, Lang Lobo, has been here since I was six. He's homeless, but he claims a man named Eric was letting him stay at his place, but I told him to shut up and he's staying at our place now. I should probably mention that this story is set in Paris, the City of Lights. Love will be found, bonds will be made. Bonds will be broken. All in all, what else could you expect from a love story? All of this leading up to finding out what's on the other side of the door.
Thanks for reading you guys!
