A young dandy, you say?

And he wrote poetry?

Well, yes, I understand. What is a girl to do in that situation?

Irresistible.

Completely irresistible.... 🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍

How he suddenly becomes a silver-tongued charmer who expresses his utter devotion with a romantic tale of knights and chivalry and love-beyond-death. He ends with a softly-(un)spoken and sincere promise: "I can't and won't live without you".

'Encouragement', ffs.

Make up the most outrageous story you can about why it's standing wherever tf it's standing today.
