Comme une eau dormante

The balance between suspense and emotional intimacy kept me hooked. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

Their cautious interactions made the romance feel earned. I'm wondering if the author intentionally paced the relationship this way or if it was a natural result of the story.

The vivid descriptions made the place almost feel like a character itself. I'm curious whether real locations influenced the setting or if it was purely fictional.
