French name, English accent, American school. Anna confused.
From Anna and the French Kiss
Soap?"
"School of America in Paris" he explains. "SOAP".
Nice. My father sent me here to be cleansed.
From Anna and the French Kiss
That guys. Sideburns. You like him?"
My back squirms. "You've asked me that before."
"What I meant was," he says, flustered. "Your feelings haven't changed? Since you've been here?"
It takes a moment to consider the question. "It's not a matter of how I feel," I say at last. "I'm interested, but ... I don't know if he's still interested in me."
St. Clair edges closer. "Does he still call?"
"Yeah. I mean, not often. But yes."
"Right. Right, well," he says, blinking. "There's your answer.
From Anna and the French Kiss

From Isla and the Happily Ever After
I'm sorry," he says.
"What? Why?"
"You're fixing everything I set down." He nods at my hands, which are readjusting the elephant. "It wasn't polite of me to come in and start touching your things."
"Oh, it's okay," I say quickly, letting go of the figurine. "You can touch anything of mine you want."
He freezes. A funny look runs across his face before I realize what I've said. I didn't mean it like that.
Not that that would be so bad.
From Anna and the French Kiss
Har. Bloody. Har.
From Anna and the French Kiss
For the two of us, home isn't a place. It is a person. And we are finally home.
From Anna and the French Kiss
The only French word I know is oui, which means “yes,” and only recently did I learn it’s spelled o-​u-​i and not w-​e-​e.
