Fleur departing from the vehicle to see her new beau safely back
Here I have the impression that you are using the word " beau" which is generally translated in English by "pretty" or "beautiful" in its rarer and literary sense "paramour" or "sweetie".
First of all, in written French, the vast majority of adjectives are accorded differently in the feminine and masculine (even when they are pronounced the same), "beau" being the masculine, "belle" the feminine (as in Sweetie Belle, which gives a very particular meaning to the name of the CMC unicorn).
Secondly, we don't say her "beau", rather his "belle" (to stay in the straight "standard") because in our patriarchal society it is normal to reduce a girlfriend to her beauty, but men are better than that.
Well, that was the nerd comment of a dysorthographian who can't write a sentence straight without the automatic corrector. Just because I hit the nail on the head doesn't mean I don't like the story, on the contrary.
11310466 1 American slang. 2 it isnt just women described as being "his beauty" and if thats all you here I hate to say it but the people you hang out with are misogynistic. The number of times I heard a dude described as "her hunk" or "her stud" in highschool alone was well into the hundreds if not the thousands. Hell, my mom describs my dad as her hunk to her friends, or at least she used to. Havent been around during a girls night since I left the house. Humans rate eachother based on their beauty, because of biology. If someone is in a relationship, because monogamy is the norm, they are generally refered to as being the property of the other. And if their partner is a catch, terms like belle, beau, hunk, and stud are generally applied. She is his, he is hers. She is hers, she is hers. He is his, he is his. Thats how a relationship is supposed to work, you belong to the other because you have given yourself to the other and they to you, and thats how normal people describe them.
This is really good.
This is freakin amazing! Every nerds dream come true haha.
My worry was misplaced.
Simply marvelous.
Sugarcoat, savage as ever! This was a fun story to read.
