Entering the women’s restroom, I take a deep breath as the door shuts behind me. I don’t really need to go to the bathroom. I just needed an excuse to get away from Jack for a moment. He’s thinking of looking for a job here, too? Jack and I could potentially both move here to Paris? He had mentioned the possibility of it before, but I wasn’t sure how serious he really was. News of him considering this makes me feel … happy, relieved, and hopeful.

How amazing would it be if Jack and I could actually continue the relationship we’ve started again? I’ve never been one to want an actual, committed relationship before, but my time here with Jack is slowly changing that. The moment we had at the table before Bobby and Corinne interrupted made me feel … special, wanted, and desired. And, likewise, I see Jack as more special to me than any other man I ever dated. I want him more than anyone, and I desire him as well. It’s hard for me to keep my hands off him, and his touch makes me feel something I’ve never felt before. What does this all mean?

A toilet flushes and a woman comes out of one of the stalls. I move away from the sink so she can wash her hands. She smiles, then says, “J’aime ta robe.”

I understand her complimenting my dress. “Merci. J’aime ta robe,” I reply, complimenting her dress as well. She dries her hands, smiles, then leaves the restroom.

Stepping in front of the sink again, I look at my reflection in the mirror. These feelings are scary. What if Jack doesn’t find a job in Paris and has to stay in New York? What if he does move here, but my job becomes too demanding and doesn’t leave time for a relationship? What if Jack and I don’t work out? These feelings are foreign to me, and I don’t want to wind up hurt. I wish I knew what to do. I could contact Veronica and ask her for advice, but now’s not the right time. I don’t want to be distracted while I’m on this date with Jack. Brooke would also be a good source to talk to, but I can’t contact her … she still thinks I’m here on business, so explaining my situation with Jack would complicate things, and I’m not ready to tell my family the truth about losing my job yet. I’ll wait until I’m back in New York to have that conversation with them when I explain I’m moving to Paris.

Ugh … the thought of that conversation makes me sick. I know my family already feels I live too far away, and that’s just on the opposite coast from them. They won’t be thrilled about my plans to move to another continent.

The door opens again, and two older ladies walk in. Realizing I’ve now been in here long enough to have actually used the restroom, I decide I should probably head back to Jack before he wonders where I am.
