» Colin's full name is Colin Gryngrasse! (Yes I know it's weird) The Gryngrasses were a rich aristocrat family.
» Lewis's full name is Lewis Percival Peverell (Oh look, even weirder).
» Colin used to be married to Eloise Harton, but turns out they're both stuck in a lavender marriage (basically, a lavender marriage is when two non-straight individuals of the opposite gender was married off to each other in order to protect their reputation or other reasons) so they split up.
» Lewis is a doctor with quite a good reputation. He treated a lot of upper class people, including Colin Gryngrasse.
» Lewis also became Colin's confidant after Colin accidentally told too much to him. He was able to gain his trust, and never told anyone.
» Colin is a poet, an actor, and a wine connoisseur (wow so random)
» I originally intended Eloise to be the antagonist, but I was like, nah
» Lewis's middle name was originally William
Edit: sometimes there's only one non-straight individual in a lavender marriage while the other is straight!
(Here's some dialogue from Louisette's novel, because I won't write the whole book, I just wanted to give some hint about the story)
(Also this probably kinda felt too formal but eh)
"You and me, we were born to accompany each other, Lewis. And while your platonic companionship was enough for me, but I cannot deny it," Colin sighed, "I cannot deny the fact that I wished for our relationship to be.. more than friends, you know?"
Lewis took a deep breath. "I knew it from long before, I just– I just don't want to quickly make assumptions. I had romantic feelings towards you, but I'm afraid that if I act upon it, you.. you'll be disgusted, then you'll distance yourself from me, and we'll both lose our relationship.. our relationship that took years for us to establish.."
"Then we are both the same, Lewis. We were both too afraid to lose each other. I would not distance myself from you, in fact– I do not want to be separated from you."
"Really? Then, may I take your hand as my lover?"
"Yes."
Lewis held Colin's hand and kissed it softly.
"But, knowing how the public react to such relationships like us.. we'll have to keep this a secret."
"You can trust on me to keep this a secret, Colin. I'm also your confidant, after all."
"I know."
