She had been staying in her dorm with Colette and hadn’t talked to me since her birthday. I missed her, so I sent her different flowers every day with sweet notes to show I was thinking of her. There were so many types of exotic flowers. I made sure I sent ones she never heard of. I decided to give her another call, hoping she would pick up this time. She answered, “Hello.” “Hey… How are you? I haven’t heard from you in a while.” “I know… Actually, I need to see you. Can I see you now?” “Yes. Do you need me to come over there?” “No. I’ll be on my way to your place.” The sound of her voice made me worried. “Is everything all right?” “Everything will be okay. Do you think we can go somewhere?” “Where do you want to go?” “I’ve always wanted to go to the Palace of Versailles. It was on my list of sites to see when I came to study abroad. Will you come with me?” “Tonight?” “Yes, tonight.” “As long as we’re back before I have to work.”
