It all began in Florence, on a café terrace, where Augustin sat down at the wrong table. It turned out to be the right one.
The years
Then came seven autumns and a studio by the lake, where they learned to sketch out a life together.
The proposal
One October evening, at the belvedere, Augustin popped the question. Marguerite said yes before the dew had settled.
