Auprès de toi, pour toujours

The detailed period atmosphere really drew me in. I'm curious what inspired her to choose this particular era and how much research went into creating the world.

The chemistry was undeniable, but I wondered if the story leaned into fantasy-level romance or if it reflected real feelings of the era. Would love to hear others' thoughts!

Her transformation felt central to the story, but I wonder if this was planned from the start or if it evolved as she wrote. How do character arcs like this usually come about?
