We looked at each other. Hussi looked directly into my eyes. “You should come with me.”
We went to his place and spent the rest of the day and the night together, mostly in bed. In the morning, he called his assistant and asked her to cancel all his appointments for the day and the next day.
“I am taking you on a little trip overnight. Make sure your family knows. We don’t want them to worry.”
“Where are—”
“Paris,” he cut me off. “We have lots of catching up to do.”
“I think I need to take some—”
“We will shop in Paris,” again, he cut me off. “You will find there everything you need.”
And off we drove to Paris, my favorite city.
The weather was perfect, and the only time we stopped was so I could pee. We stopped a lot.
We arrived at the Four Seasons hotel on the Champs-Élysées.
