NINE

The following day, Céline told Coco that Spatz had left early while she was still asleep. “He asked me to tell you he was on his way to Berlin,” the maid said.

Coco returned to Paris that evening. Her head ached, and a heaviness had settled in her bones. For the next week, she sat in her suite, indulging her misery, imagining that she and Spatz were finished. He doesn’t deserve me, she told herself. He’ll regret screaming at me and taking off without so much as one word of apology. She hoped Spatz was as miserable as she was. She wanted to punish him. If he phoned, she vowed not to take the call. When he returned, she’d refuse to see him.

But he never called. Ten days passed, and finally one evening at ten Spatz showed up at the Ritz carrying an enormous bouquet of red roses. When Coco saw him standing in the little salon looking even more handsome than she remembered, her heart melted. “Let’s not fight, darling,” he said, hugging her tightly.

They made love twice that night and fell asleep in each other’s arms, their quarrel forgotten.
