"Hello?" Pt. 2

July 5th 2016

"How is it possible that, even though we've only been separated for, what, ten hours, I miss you like crazy?"

"Stockholm Syndrome."

"Ah, right."

"Either that, or I'm irresistible to you. Face it, Daniel, you can't get enough of me."

"Really? Nope, I think you've got that the wrong way around."

"Please, I could totally resist you if I wanted to."

"No, you couldn't."

"... Anyway-"

"Haha, knew it."

"As I was saying, anyway... Paris is boring without you."

"I still don't see why you had to go. You've missed most of the shows. You could have just stayed in new York with me."

"I could have, but you're flying home today, so really, I wouldn't have been gaining anything."

"Um, you would have gained a seven-hour flight to London with me."

"Tempting, but Elie Saab is showing in Paris tomorrow. It's bad enough I missed Ralph and Russo. I will not miss Elie Saab, Valentino, Zuhair Murad."

"So, you're in Paris until when?"

"Friday."

"And then?"

"London."

"How long will you be in London for?"

"Until Monday. Why?"

"I have seats for the Wimbledon's men final. I was hoping you'd accompany me."

"Really?"

"Please."

"This will be our first official outing as a couple, you know."

"I know. So, is that a 'yes'?"

"Yeah, why not. I like tennis. But... if France get into the final of the Euro 2016 tournament, just know I'll be ditching you in Wimbledon and heading to the French party my mother is throwing."

"I'm going to try and not be offended by that. Honestly, 'ditch you.'"

"Priorities."

"And football ranks higher than me?"

"Would you like me to answer that honestly?"

"Not really. I'm a little scared of what your answer would be. So, is this why you're staying in Paris until Friday? Because the France-Germany game is on Thursday?"

"What?! No!"

"That's a big, fat 'yes' if ever there was one."

"Like I said, priorities."

"I'm feeling loved today, Soph."

"I know. So... oh, shit! Babe, there's this really mean looking security guy headed my way. The Alexandre Vauthier show is about to start."

"No idea what that means, but I'm guessing you have to go."

"Sorry. Love you, bye!"

"Love you, too, Sophie."
