    “Most people in Atlanta don't have an accent. It's pretty urban. A lot of people speak gangsta, though," I add jokingly.
    "Fo' shiz," he replies in his polite English accent.
    I spurt orangey-red soup across the table. St. Clair gives a surprised ha-HA kind of laugh, and I'm laughing too, the painful kind like abdominal crunches. He hands me a napkin to wipe my chin. "Fo'. Shiz." He repeats it solemnly.
    Cough cough. "Please don't ever stop saying that. It's too-" I gasp. "Much."
    "You oughtn't to have said that. Now I shall have to save it for special occasions."
    "My birthday is in February." Cough choke wheeze. "Please don't forget.”
    Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

    Stephanie Perkins
    “Oh my. He's English.

    "Er. Does Mer live here?"

    Seriously, I don't know any American girl who can resist an English accent.

    The boy clears his throat. "Meredith Chevalier? Tall girl? Big, curly hair?" Then he looks at me like I'm crazy or half deaf, like my Nana Oliphant. Nanna just smiles and shakes her head whenever I ask, "What kind of salad dressing would you like?" or "Where did you put Granddad's false teeth?"

    "I'm sorry." He takes the smallest step away from me. "You were going to bed."

    "Yes! Meredith lives here. I've just spent two hours with her." I announce this proudly like my little brother, Seany, whenever he finds something disgusting in the yard. "I'm Anna! I'm new here!" Oh, [Gosh]. What. Is with. The scary enthusiasm? My cheeks catch fire, and it's all so humiliating.

    The beautiful boy gives an amused grin. His teeth are lovely - straight on top and crooked on the bottom, with a touch of overbite. I'm a sucker for smiles like this, due to my own lack of orthodontia. I have a gap between my front teeth the size of a raisin.

    "Étienne," he says. "I live one floor up."

    "I live here." I point dumbly at my room while my mind whirs: French name, English accent, American school. Anna confused.

    He raps twice on Meredith's door. "Well. I'll see you around then, Anna."

    Eh-t-yen says my name like this: Ah-na.”
    Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

    Stephanie Perkins
    “He stares at his hands. Whatever word he wrote there, its been crossed off. There's only a black box. "Lola, you were the only person I wanted there that night. I was crazy about you, but I didn't know what to do. It was paralyzing. There were so many times when I wanted to take your hand, but...I couldn't. That one small move felt impossible."
    Now I'm staring at my hands, too. "I would have let you take it."
    "I know." His voice croaks.”
    Stephanie Perkins, Lola and the Boy Next Door

    Stephanie Perkins
    “I told him your loins were clearly burning, and he should man up and make a move."
    "You did not!"
    "I did. And if he doesn't, then I suggest you jump his bones."
    ...
    I finally register what he's wearing. It's a handsome skinny black suit with a shiny sheen. The pants are too short - on purpose, of course - exposing his usual pointy shoes and a pair of blue socks that match my dress exactly.
    And I totally want to jump him.”
    Stephanie Perkins, Lola and the Boy Next Door

    “Har. Bloody. Har."
    He smiles. "Oh, I see. Known me less than a day and teasing me about my accent. What's next? Care to discuss the state of my hair? My height? My trousers?"
    Trousers. Honestly.”
    Stephanie Perkins, Anna and the French Kiss

    A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
    Forget your woes and let your troubles lay

    Here it's safe, here it's warm
    Here the daisies guard you from every harm
    Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
    Here is the place where I love you.”
    Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
