And then he was gone. As the cab pulled away, I looked behind me to watch Sebastian walking away. He suddenly turned around and seemed to look right at me. I quickly ducked down in my seat and took a deep breath. _Emily, get a grip. You're acting like a schoolgirl._ I pressed my hands to my cheeks and willed the warmth to dissipate. Looking up, I noticed the cab driver was staring at me in the rear view mirror, his gray eyebrows knit with concern. &quot;Est-ce que tout est bien, mademoiselle?&quot; &quot;Oui, monsieur. Merci.&quot; I smiled at him and he smiled back before turning his attention to the road again. Back at the hotel, I looked at my watch. It was a quarter till eight here, but I was still on Eastern Standard time and I hadn't gotten any sleep since I'd arrived. I yawned as I began walking up the stairs to my room on the second floor. &quot;Miss Nichols?&quot; I turned around and saw the concierge standing at the foot of the stairs. &quot;Yes?&quot; &quot;You received this message,&quot; he said. There was an envelope in his hand. 2008-07-06T06:04:16Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/24747 <p>Yes I agree cute lil cab scene.

NY is actually six hours behind Paris, not in front (actually because of DST , it&#8217;s five hours behind for the next two weeks). So 8 PM in Paris is 2 PM in NY. Emily should want to have a late lunch right now.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/24747?basename=48902 2008-03-16T16:29:28Z BARomero http://ficlets.com/authors/baromero
