Adrien smiled and eventually annabelle found him. Elise was heading up to her own bed room. She was tired and she opened the door and began to get dressed.
Finally Stephen made a decision he wanted to do something completely reckless and stupid. He got dressed quickly gathering his pistol and his knife and heading down to the sewer. He hoped he could find even one flower out there still in bloom it was getting late in the year.
Stephen slipped out threw the sewers and began to look around in the dark. He was having a bit of a challenging time in the dark but that just meant he was hard to see. After an hour of searching he found a small garden that still had flowers in it. After a half hour he had cut 15 flowers that still seemed to have some life left. Once that was done he snuck back and slipped into his room with out being noticed.
Stephen slept in late on purpose he wanted to sneak the flowers in while everyone was eating. Once he woke he slipped the flowers into his jacket and slipped into her room. He piled them on her pillow the flowers facing the door. Once that was done he went down to eat breakfast setting down just as most of the resistance was finishing their meal.
He chuckled looking at her as she walked away wondering what to do with the rest of his day. He figured he would go listen to the radio and pour over maps trying to place the lines. He ate quickly and went to the study to do just that.
Elise walked up to her room. She walked around to her desk before something cuaght her eye. She saw the flowers and she did a double take. Flowers? In this time. She picked them and smiled happily. She smelled them before finding a vase to put them in.
Stephen stat there slowly sketching the new front lines on the map as he smiled brightly. He knew she would find the flowers sooner or later and he wished he could see her face when she did.
She smiled and put the flowers on her desk. She sat down and just looked at them for awhile, a happy smile on her face. After awhile, she walked back down stairs and went looking for him.
He smirked when she walked seeing her walking towards him. "Hello Elise how are you doing today?" He smiled putting the pen down looking up into her eyes.
Stephen smiled and slid back in the chair his hands hooking her waist pulling her down so she could set in his lap. "Your welcome, I had to risk it its so challenging to be romantic in this building. "
"Your a very special woman you deserve special treatment. " He spoke softly kissing her cheek holding his lips against her skin for a long moment as his arms wrapped around her stomach locking over her side. "Besides this building can be so drab at times i wanted to bring some color into your room. "
Elise smiled and said "Well In any case It was a very nice thing to do" she said with a grin. She smiled at him and said "Annabelle might get jealous" she said smiling.
"Good! Maybe once she realizes how much i like you she will back off and stop giving me the evil eye. " He chuckled looking at her giving her side a light squeeze. "I just need to figure out how show you a good time with no where to .... Do you like to dance? " He looked at her his face lighting up as he realized something.
His hands left her side and he smiled looking into her eyes. "Lets go dancing! I have a small radio in my survival kit! "He would take the radio from the map room but he did not want to take it away form everyone besides he had never turned on his radio so the batteries where fresh. "Lets go up to my room! "
He smiled taking her hand leading her nearly jogging threw the building to the attic where he now staid. Once he was there he smiled and let her hand go closing the door and jogging over to his foot locker digging threw it for the radio. "Lets hope we can get a signal. "
She smiled and ran with him through the house to his room. She watched as he dug out the radio. She smiled at him and said "Yeah" she said smiling and waiting for him.
