On the Brink of Paris (2006)
“on the Brink of Paris Nine I had viewed more masterpieces than I ever thought possible in one afternoon. As I lay facedown on my bed on the deuxième étage of the VEI, my feet throbbed and felt uncomfortably hot, like they were about to go supernova and splatter carbon and stardust up into the stratosphere.
Bonnie and Janet were napping too, but Charlotte was undefeated by our hours at the Louvre. I could hear her flipping through her guidebook, muttering occasional remarks, and scratching notes... with her Bic ballpoint. I could practically hear her brain working as she figured out how many places we could visit during our free afternoon tomorrow. This might be an opportune time to show her I was as good as my word, that I was making an effort to find out seule what Paris had to offer, instead of relying on Charlotte to figure it out for me. Using the force of ten oxen, I lifted my head off the pillow and looked over at her.
“Hey, Charlotte,” I said.
She peered at me over her glasses, lips still pursed in reading-small-print mode.MoreLess
