Happily Toujours After

I waited a beat, then said, “No, I won’t say yes – but – I will say oui instead.”

Sebastian punished me by wrapping me in a crushing hug.

Five minutes later, after being thoroughly kissed, I pulled away and asked him, “How did you find me, Sebastian?”

“Well, I went first to NYU , where I found your old dorm and met the charming Daisy, who gave me your new address. She is quite the ‘looker,’ as you say here, in America.”

I punched him in the arm, but then pulled him down for another kiss.

“She’s an incorrigible flirt. I bet she put the moves on you.”

“I don’t understand this expression, ‘put the moves.’”

I smiled up at him. “Maybe it’s best that you don’t understand. At least not for now. I’ll have my work cut out, trying to teach you all of the many different idioms in English. It’s a good thing you’re marrying an English major.”

“And I look forward to helping you with your French. Your pronunciation needs work, ma petite.”

Before I could open my mouth to complain, he stopped me with another kiss.

The End!
I wasn’t sure if was ever going to end it, but I finally did. I will miss writing about Emily and her (mis)adventures in Paris. Merci beaucoup to those of you who read all the way through and provided your kind comments!

This series and Captital “W” Writer’s recent series volleyed back and forth for my attention over the past few days. At the end of each (two cases of precise and incredible marathon writing, wow), I can say, I loved them both!

I’ve taken the time to read this series from beginning to end tonight. I must say it was beyond 100 percent worth it, and I loved every minute of it!
It’s one of those stories that makes you “in love with love”, so to speak.
