If you aren’t busy, come up into the hills with me! You’re going to want to see this!” Philippe called, as he burst into the apartment at noon. “We haven’t explored a new village for a while and I promise you will love this one. But then you love them all, don’t you?” Katherine was editing photos on her computer and looked up in surprise. “Je suis pressé,” Philippe said as he rushed about. “I have to pick up a special order that I’ll tell you about in the car. And we’ll need warm coats. It will be cooler up there.” “I’m ready!” she said, picking up her camera. Philippe fetched jackets for them from the closet. He gave her a playful pat as they left the apartment. “No time to wait for the ascenseur. Allez, zou! This will be our one-week-anniversary adventure!” They hurried down the stairs, and Kat laughed at the spontaneity. It was hard to believe only seven days had passed since he carried her over the threshold.
