"Dudes," Nino remarked, "come and see this!"
 
They gathered at the doorway, which had a perfect view of the nearest staircase.
 
Gabriel Agreste was coming down, carrying his assistant in his arms, bridal style. Nathalie was wearing her pyjamas and clutching a box of tissues, looked bemused but also like she was enjoying it.
 
Alya felt her mouth fall open, and saw Marinette's and Nino's do the same.
 
"Told you," Adrien murmured to his friends.
 
"That's a bit more than a light touch on the arm, dude."
 
"Yeah, well, Nathalie told me she had a bit of a health issue a few months ago, father has been absolutely paranoid about her health since. She just has to cough once, and he's pushing her into a chair and taking her temperature."
 
"Aww," Marinette said.
 
"I'm definitely seeing the romantic potential now," Alya remarked. "But, what about the plan? If she's that ill…"
 
"I don't see why it can't still work," Adrien said. "It'll probably be more effective, actually, since Father’s is in his protective mode."
 
"Isn't your dad a bit of a germophobe?" Nino asked.
 
"Normally, yeah. But you saw that, right? He clearly isn't bothered where Nathalie is concerned."
