She missed the Cote d'Azur and the south of France with its wonderful flora, a unique blend of herbal, lavender, oleander, and citrus aromas. For the past few months, she had dreamt of "un café noir un croissant" at Café de Flore or Les Deux Magots on Boulevard Saint Germain in the heart of Paris. She really loved these two places: full of magnetism and the grandeur of 19th and 20th-century history, not only literature but also painting and philosophy.

Damien buys sme a copy of Pride and Prejudice in French. We walk everywhere, because Damien says it’s the Parisian way. This surprises me, since I’m used to him having us chauffeured everywhere.

He buys me pain au chocolat in the mornings and wine in the afternoons, and at night we sit on the balcony of my apartment and listen to the city hum. “I get it now,” I whisper one night, watching the rooftops turn blue in the twilight.

“That will be 27 euros, madame.” I handed her the exact amount, and she gave me the receipt. I returned to my table, knowing a waiter would bring my order once it was ready. I put my sunglasses on my head and watched the cars and people passing by. This is what I love when I’m here. I always feel inspired to write. For me, this place is peaceful and gives me peace of mind. I was currently writing LOST IN PARIS. The story is about a woman who applied as a teacher in Paris, but her agency scammed her. Afraid of getting arrested in a foreign country, she ended up applying as a tutor for the child of a billionaire single father.

I said, "to show the memory of a beautiful place that continues to stay within the moving traveler for the rest of their life." "Since you're so excited about Paris, where would you like to go?" "God, there's a whole list of places I want to go." I continued. "Maybe the Salon at 27 Rue de Fleurus where Ernest Hemingway was mentored. Or Bar Hemingway at the Ritz Paris."

I was always up for any exploration, especially with Ethan.

Paris stretched out to infinity from the balcony its roofs glowing softly under the drizzle, the Seine sparkling like a dark vein. Inside the suite, all smelled of rain and red wine and something more delicate: a peace that was too perfect to be lasting.
