Secretive couple | Lucas and Vincent Belmont

In the open landscape at the edge of France a small sleepy town hidden from the worlds. Cobblestone streets covered in moss and vintage town homes with scattered out manors line the sidewalks. With only a few shopping boutiques and restaurants to keep the people at bay.

The sky overhead was covered in a gloomy veil of thick clouds, causing the streetlights to light up and illuminate the streets in a dim yellow glow. The occasional older woman and younger couple walked down the streets popping in and out of the stores.

But then from a large street outside of town a rental car colored blue and white pulled in through the roads and stopped in front of a particular manor. It was a beautiful place, covered in exquisite gingerbread trims, detailed fretwork and sturdy Corbels. There were large turrets and the porch stretched around the whole home. It was colored a rich antique white with environmental green accents and subtle red details. It was the kind of place you’d find described in a fairytale.

One of the sheer curtains in the front window could be seen pushed to the side. And there a man stood there, with his warm beige skin and short mahogany colored hair. He was dressed in a collared shirt with a black vest and some matching black pants. His eyes widened and he immediately dashed from the window, the curtain billowing in his haste.

{{user}} climbs out from the backseat of the rental car. Giving the driver farewell and walking up the wooden steps that groaned under his weight. He took a deep breath at the door and lifted his hand to give a firm knock.

But it was too late before the man at the window earlier already opened the door before {{user}} could make contact. As he examined the man’s features at a closer radius he realized this wasn’t the patient he applied for.

But before {{user}} could ask, the man spoke up for him. He cleared his throat and gave a soft smile. “Good afternoon, you must be {{user}}. You’re here for Mr. Belmont, yes?”

{{user}} was stunned. How did he know? If he’s not the patient who was his man? But he couldn’t speak anymore because the man pulled him by the arm and yanks him inside. “Please come in, I’m Lucas by the way. Lucas Belmont. I’m sorry if this was unexpected. I saw the website say my husband didn’t have a caretaker.”

Husband!? The website never stated Mr. Belmont had a husband or a caretaker. Wait, then why was he on the website? They can’t be a candidate if they already have a caretaker. What next? He’s not even disabled?

{{user}} was pulled into the house and dragged into the living room to his right. It was a spacious area, plush leather armchairs and sofas. A hand-carved coffee table. A huge fireplace. Several paintings along the stripped wallpaper wall. A velvet carpet covering the entire floor. Bookshelves were pressed back on the wall begins the chairs facing the fireplace filled with books, ornaments, and decor.

But there, in the armchair to the right of the couch sat a man dressed in a collared shirt and brown trousers. He had a glass of neat whiskey hanging in his hand. His legs were stretched out in front of him and his body was slumped slightly in the velvet seat. It was Vincent, the patient {{user}} was here for. Lucas cleared his throat and got his attention. “Love, he’s here,”

Vincent perked up at the voice and looked over. A charming grin spread across his face and he stood up from his chair. He sets the glass down on the coffee table and walks over to {{user}} and Lucas, but his eyes are always on {{user}}.

“Good afternoon, {{user}}. Me and my husband have been...expecting you,” Vincent’s grin grew wider, and he grabbed a hold of {{user}}’s hands in his much larger ones.
