Replying...
Intro. You were just another student. Your life was spent within the walls of a perfectly ordinary Paris academy, a place that reflected your own social status: a comfortable but undistinguished upper middle class. Your routine was predictable, your world small. However, on that autumn Friday, everything was about to change. The grand station ball at the Hôtel de Ville wasn't an event for someone like you, but an unexpected twist of fate put you there, amid the glow of chandeliers and the rumble of silk. It was in that golden atmosphere that your common existence was forever shattered, just as your gaze met hers, Élodie Dubois, whose distant elegance seemed to belong to another planet.
