Evan was freaking out. There were no two ways about it.

As he sat at the outdoor table at the café near Margie’s apartment, Evan wanted to believe everything was okay. But he couldn’t.

All his insecurities were looming large, and he kept thinking about how the girl he’d liked at MIT had stopped liking him because he’d been too…hell, too open about his feelings. And he’d never given himself over to a woman like he had with Margie. Until last night, he realized, he’d never made love to a woman before. Being with Margie had stripped him bare and then filled him all up at the same time.

When he hadn’t heard from her at first, he’d worried something was wrong. Had she lost her phone? His worry had only grown as the hours stretched by. She didn’t know Paris, and while he’d always thought it to be a safe city, his mind started to imagine the worst. So he finally gave in to the urge to make sure she was safe at the bakery. The sight of its dark lights and “fermé” sign had felt like a punch in the gut, as had the revelation that came next.

He hadn’t fully processed it the night before, but he loved her. He really loved her.

And now he felt raw and exposed, particularly since she didn’t know the truth about who he was. But maybe, just maybe, she’d forgive him if she felt the same way. Perhaps her heart would soften the news.

But her text about being tired had burrowed under his skin like a worm, and he couldn’t ignore the feeling she was blowing him off. What if she had decided to take a step back?

The thought killed him.

They had so little time left before she left Paris—seven days—and all he wanted to do was spend every moment with her. He didn’t know what he was going to do when she left. She’d given him back his creative fire, and now that fire inside him burned for her.

He decided to head home and regroup. Maybe painting would clear his mind so he could figure out the best way forward with her. He’d been testing out his latest iteration of the Paint Prep Mistress on his own apartment. Desperate to unlock the secret possibilities he knew were locked within his new creation, within the act of painting, he had taken to painting his living room wall various shades over the past weeks.

Thirty minutes later, as he stroked the walls the same shade of periwinkle Margie had selected for her bakery, the one he’d painted for her, he realized their time was too precious for him not to seek her out and find out what she was feeling. And tell her what he was feeling, all the garbled up mass of it lodged in his chest.

When he realized it was just past one o’clock and Margie would be heading out to the bakery soon, he grabbed a shower and changed into fresh clothes. He headed
