"I assume you do not mind improper behavior, giving you are a Brompton."

Lilacs symbolize confidence, which makes them a traditionally popular gift for graduates. There are many meanings that lilacs have that can best be classified by colour. White lilacs represent youthful innocence. Blue lilacs symbolize happiness and tranquillity. Lilac, the colour for which this flower is named, is a light purple that symbolizes a first love. 

Mary Brompton is not young anymore, although she behaves like she is. She is expected to court her best friend's brother, but she does not like him like people think she does. She wants to be free and fully a woman, not a fancy lady who needs the protection of a man.
Eli Byron is not the best man in London. He has a reputation of danger, drinks and many ladies. Hiding behind the greatness of his father, has become second nature to him. He has a family that has hope for him, but he does not share that feeling.
They are different on every level and they put that to the test - literally. But does becoming close to each mean discovering the truth they are both hiding?

Or so had she thought until she collided with the cheeky green-eyed boy, Kayden Lawson, who had the most charming tricks up his sleeve - tricks just smooth enough to make Elaine realise, that maybe, indeed, she did wear her heart out on her sleeve. Maybe, for a few late night talks, stolen glances and shy flirty exchanges - Elaine was completely willing to change everything about herself - to fit in. To make Kayden keep looking at her. But unfortunately, every person does not know how to keep care of another's heart, and often end up breaking them. And spoiler alert, Kayden turned out to be one of them. Too bad that even after her heart was abandoned, Elaine's heart kept singing Kayden's name like a long-forgotten song. Too bad that, undoubtedly, heartbreak weather had come. • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • unedited. ©2022 to Aishi Mitra @aishixwrites.
