“He already assumes my French arrogance. I would say confidence is not arrogance if it’s factual. I’m not one to say French men are superior. What I will say is we are steeped in a culture devoted to cherishing women, appreciating them, and seducing them. We aren’t known for this worldwide for nothing. We have earned our reputation. I’ll be the first to admit some Frenchmen are more seductive than romantic, especially in our larger municipalities where the men can be downright brutish in their directness. But nonetheless, we Frenchmen know romance and we know it well enough to write a book—or twenty-two, my current number of published titles. That is, if a Frenchman were able to write well, which, some can, and some, sadly cannot.”

“Hey, Trevor,” Decker says. “You-uns having a party?” “Nah,” I tell him. “I’m crashing girls’ night.” He wags his eyebrows like a typical high school boy, probably imagining a far more exciting night than the one I’m actually about to have.

"Because she's happy?"
"Because she's chronically happy. Nothing ever gets her down."
"And that's a problem?"
"It's a problem for me."
"Just as I thought."
...
"Okay." ... "I find her intriguing.”

...
"Your choice. Your blank page. You write what you will.”
