CHAPTER 22

By the time Monday rolled around and the hideous weekend was over, Thibaut’s overtures had become quite overt in nature. Playing like I didn’t care fueled something in him. He pulled me aside after giving me the bises several seconds longer than necessary.

“Next weekend,” he said. “Are you free?”

I thought of the previous weekend of boudin noir and Bruno. I would make myself free. There was no way I was going to spend another weekend in Noiron. “Yes.”

“Great,” he said. “It’s my birthday and I was thinking of having a party. I wasn’t going to but then…well…I thought it would be nice for us to be able to spend some time together outside of school. What do you think?”

I smiled back. “That would be nice. Where?”

“My father is going to rent the salle des fêtes in Puligny-Montrachet. I think I’ll invite the whole class. We’ll all stay overnight. Bring a sleeping bag.” He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. I laughed.

“An overnight, co-ed birthday party? Is that some sort of Burgundian tradition?”

“It’s not uncommon.”

“I’ll have to ask the Girard’s for permission,” I warned him.

“Can you tonight? I won’t have it if you can’t come.”

I stared at him so long that he said, “Quoi?”

“That’s really sweet,” I said. “I had a rough weekend and…well…it’s just a nice thing to hear. Don’t tell me if it’s not true. I don’t want to know.”
