It had been two years since she'd been here--two years since she'd breathed the air of the place she'd grown up. So upon her arrival (no internships available like last summer) she celebrated with a solo ride.
Unfortunately her two-year absence from the area made her forget she was on Desmarais land until she was within viewing distance of the house, on top of the hill that overlooked it.
Something nervous twisted in her stomach and she turned to go.
Two years--she only hoped it was enough time for everyone to pretend to forget.

"May I help you, miss?"
Olivier had changed in the intervening two years--experience in running the Desmarais estate and dealing with Laurent's often indiscreet behaviors had caused him to finally shed his naiive and shy demeanor and grow into a man more like his father had been. He even, during that time, had acquired a bit of the same charismatic air that Laurent had displayed from the beginning.
Today he was dressed in a manner that the old Olivier would have considered daring--not edging around flaunting society like Laurent, but much less strict and looser--easier. His helpful expression changed to one of recognition.
"Evie...?"

"Olivier!" She hadn't heard him coming, and wheeled her horse around.
Well, that was certainly a surprise. She couldn't explain it, but something looked... different. More French.
"I- I'm so sorry, I forgot where the property lines were--"

His expression gave way to a broad smile.
"I can't fault you for that. But you needn't worry--I'm fairly certain the people of these lands are very happy to see you."
