Roughly eight years before 1924, Maxim arrives at Spring as part of his usual visits in Saint Marguerite as a graduate of the said academy. In one encounter, Millie falls in love with Maxim after receiving a bouquet of primroses from him. However, she realizes that her illness will give her little to no time to express her love for him, so she decides on an elaborate plan to seize Maxim's affections.
