Stephanie Perkins Quote

So will your father object to me? Because I'm not American? I mean, not fully American? He's not one of those mad, patriotic nuts,is he?No.He'll love you, you make me happy.He's not always so bad.St. Clair raises his dark eyebrows.I know! But I said He still is the majority of the time.It's just...he means well. He thought he was doing good,sending me here.And was it? Good?Look at you,fishing for compliments.I wouldn't object to a compliment.I play with a strand of his hair. I like how you pronounce 'banana.' And sometimes you trill your I love that.Briliant, he whispers in my ear. Because I've spent loads of time practicing.My room is dark,and Etienne wraps his arms back around me.We listen to the opera singer in a peaceful silence.I'm surprised by how much I'll miss France. Atlanta was home for almost eighteen years,and though I've only know Paris for the last nine months,it's changed me.I have a new city to learn next year,but I'm not scared.Because I was right.For the two of us, home isn't a place.It's a person.And we're finally home.
