Stephanie Perkins Quote

Is he crying? I lean forward for a better look and find him staring right at me.Oh,no.Oh no oh no oh NO.He stops. Anna?Um.Hi. My face is on fire. I want to rewind this reel,shut it off, destroy it.His expression runs from confusion to anger. Were you listening to that?I'm sorry-I can't believe you were eavesdropping!It was an accident.I was passing by,and...you were there. And I've heard so much about your father,and I was curious.I'm sorry.Well, he says, I hope what you saw met your grandest expectations. He stalks past me,but I grab his arm.Wait! I don't even speak French, remember?Do you proise, he says slowly, that you didn't understand a single word of our conversation?I let go of him. No.I heard you. I heard the whole thing.
