Oh Millefeuilles, what a lovely journey to Paris in the early 1990's! Sandrine is the perfect guide to take a trip through the fabled city's theaters, tea shops and a certain 'poor' writer's tiny studio apartment. It is not often we read stories about Clark's wanderings, this one is a gem!
Is Paris your home? From the descriptions and intimate knowledge of the city it is either that or the subject was endlessly researched before posting. Love it! It makes me feel as if I was standing by Clark's side during his conversations with her.
Her musings were cut short when she suddenly ran into a brick wall. She nearly bounced back from the impetus and was held by a solid hand, before she tripped.
“Je suis vraiment désolé! Vous n’avez rien ? [I am really sorry! Are you all right?]”
The “wall” had spoken to her.
What a perfect way to meet Clark! I especially liked the way he spoke French almost like a native, with a slight accent Sandrine had a little trouble recognizing. It is sad to know that someday he shall eventually move on. In fact, he has already laid the groundwork for his departure because he has applied for a post in England. Will he and this kind young woman remain friends? One very much hopes so.
