Most romantic moment:
Paris in February, the Latin Quarter. My boyfriend and I are searching for the A.P.C. store when, in teh distance, I see a flash of lightning. The sky grows ominously dark and the wind, cold and biting, comes up. We hear something, like cloth moving, heavy and rustling, and realize that it is hailing very close by. We run, then, looking for shelter in a neighborhood curiously without cafés of any sort. Standing in an alcove of a bank, closed for the weekend, the hail turns into flurries, and we are huddled close together, trying to fit inside the relative safety of the doorway, and I look at him and say, "Kiss me, right now." He does, and I say, "We've kissed in a snowstorm in Paris."
