Your father, the brilliant-minded man, ran the only flower shop in all of Encanto, so the boy would frequently stop by and sniff any of the flowers on display. He was shy at first, always timid when you tried to go up to him, he would hide behind his sisters in an attempt to shield himself, but eventually, they pushed him into you so they could hang out with your step-brothers. You knew you had a slight crush on him, but in the end, you thought nothing of it, because he was a Madrigal! You just never thought something so platonic would end up spiralling into the snowball it has become now.
