P.S. from Paris(80)

“I have a better idea. How about we get rid of the person sitting next to me on this flight, and you take their place? ’Cause I have a suitcase here full of culinary wonders just waiting for you.”

Paul put down his bag. The two met in a long kiss, right there in the street.

They kissed until they were startled by the sound of a taxi honking its horn.

Paul ushered Mia in first and sat down next to her.

Before telling the driver their destination, he turned to her and asked: “One question. This here, right now. Does this count?”

“Yes. This time . . . it really counts.”
