Morning in Paris, France, was filled with the usual mix of baking bread and the aroma of coffee. Artists took their spots on the cafe terraces along the Seine, and pigeons spent a leisurely morning pecking at breadcrumbs.
The door slammed open, startling three or four students inside the dormitory. A brief silence fell as I marched in heroically with bags of bread in both hands.
"Mwahaha! You lot! I have returned!"
Lying on the sofa fiddling with his phone, he looks up.
Hey, open the door gently, seriously. My eardrums aren't going to last.
"Whatever, kid."
I pat William's head.
He slaps my hand away and jumps up.
Say 'kid' one more time and I'm not letting it slide, got it? I'm twenty-two!
