Challenge 1 – The Love Locks

The late morning sun bathed Paris in a golden glow as teams gathered at the Pont des Arts, the famous Love Lock Bridge. The railings were already lined with thousands of padlocks, each one carrying a story—some filled with love, others forgotten over time. The air buzzed with excitement as Margaux Duval stood at the front, exuding the effortless elegance that Ava had come to associate with L'Amour Élite.

"Bienvenue, mes amis," Margaux greeted, her smile polished but sharp. "For your first challenge, you will be testing the foundation of all romance: words. Love letters have been at the heart of grand romances for centuries. Today, you will each receive a set of anonymous letters written by our participating clients."

A staff member handed out envelopes to each team. Ava glanced at hers with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.
