After six days in Paris, Elizabeth was becoming homesick. She wasn't used to being away from home unless she was kept busy with business meetings. She had just finished her call with August and was in a much happier mood. She missed him as well, but he assured her that he would be on a flight to Paris tomorrow. Plus, she finally found a new studio, so her day was just getting better and better.August calls her every morning and evening, and she feels like she's falling more in love with him each time.
