The French Girl
“I ran down the driveway towards the Stone Cottage with the blue and white mimeographed assignment sheet Mrs. Spenser had handed out to us as we were being dismissed.
“Giselle!” I called as I ran through the front door, which was almost always kept unlocked.
“I am out here, Cherie.”
I cut through the kitchen to the back porch. Giselle was standing in front of a canvas propped up on an easel. Her left hand was folded under her chin as she studied the work in front of her. I moved closer and cam...e to a halt when I saw it. She turned and smiled.
“Do you like it?” she asked.
I gazed at the picture for a long time before answering. It was a portrait of Jean, Giselle and me standing in front of the fireplace, their arms resting on my shoulders.
Giselle picked up the small Polaroid picture from the corner of the easel and showed it to me.
“Do you remember when I asked Eppy to take our picture? I want to surprise Jean for her birthday. You will keep it a secret, yes?”MoreLess
