    Summary

    It’s lonely, in this big house with only his parents and the staff for company. Most of Louis’ days are lost to reading, to drawing, to wandering around the streets of the village like he has somewhere he has to be, someone he has to meet. He watches the old men smoke and drink outside of the tabac-cum-bar that sits sleepy and dark on the main street, watches the old women chat outside the boulangerie with their bread clutched in their arms, fresh and fragrant in the still morning air.

    And now, Henri. Henri, with his shabby car and his big smile, impish like he’s in on some joke that he’s aching to include you in too.
