People here in Europe are so much more communicative and tolerant.”Danny waited for the monologue to continue but Lucy stared at him.“Huh?”“Ar... you just staying in Paris or are you going someplace else?”“We’ll have a rental car and drive to the South in two days.”“I was thinking of taking the train, but a car must be nice too, you know, to get to places. The distances are so much shorter here that people don’t fly as much as we do.”Over Lucy’s talking they had reached the Place de Saint-Michel. Pacific Avenue, heading north for a bit before she made a right turn, followed by two lefts. She stopped in front of a nondescript two-story house and killed the engine.“Home, sweet home!” she grinned, getting out of the car. “Wasn’t that a great ride? I’ve wanted a ragtop car ever since our French vacation.”The others followed her out and picked their luggage from the trunk. Lucy then led the way along a short concrete path and opened the front door.“Janey and I have the ground floor bedrooms.. "I ... I ... can't" she replied in an agitated voice.It's no time for modesty ... come on before you freeze to death out there" I responded in a raised and firm voice."Oh OK" she replied as she slowly entered the room wrapped in a big white towel.I opened the shower door and beckoned her inside, giving her a full frontal view of my naked body. She hesitantly dropped the towel on the floor and stepped inside the now cramped shower stall with me.The water was quickly losing its heat and I helped. Between him and Kelly they have brought out who you seenow. I am so happy and I can't wait for you to meet him. He has alreadyasked me to marry him and I said yes. I have thought about it and I wasgoing to call you after I got out of here but I am glad you are with menow. I want you to be my maid of honor. I didn't know that you and momknew but you really helped me realize that this is who I was meant to beand I couldn't imagine anyone else who I would want to be with me." I would be honored to.
