«Wow this is gorgeous!», Tina said, looking around.

It was also Bette’s first visit to this famous building and she chocked up when she saw the beautiful sculptures and stained glass. Tina stroked her back. «Hey baby, are you OK?», she asked sweetly. Bette nodded. «I’m fine, the whole thing is just so… so breathtaking», she replied. They sat down in one of the pews, enjoying the peace and silence of the place. From there, they went to a sidewalk café for a light lunch.

The rain had stopped when the left the café and on one street, they came across an artist who smiled warmly at them. «Bonjour mesdames. Je peux faire votre portrait?», he asked them. They looked at each other, not understanding a word he had just said. «Excuse me ?», Bette replied. The man smiled even wider. «I’m sorry… I was asking if you two beautiful women wanted me to draw your picture ?»

«Yeah, sure», Tina said, excitingly. They sat across from the man who quickly went to work. He glanced at them from time to time and both Bette and Tina couldn’t wait to see his drawing. Amused, people would stop by to watch the man draw and they would give Bette and Tina a two thumbs up, meaning that the artist was good at what he did.

«All finished», the man said fifteen minutes later. Bette and Tina stood up and looked at the drawing. «Oh my God, it’s brilliant!», Bette said. At the bottom, the artist had written «Love in Paris».

«How did you know we were in love?», Tina wanted to know.

He gazed at both of them and smiled. «I’m an artist, I observe people and love is written all over your gorgeous faces», he simply said. Bette gave him 15 euros to thank him for his draw. He put it in an envelope and wished them a happy life together.

The rest of the day was also magical with a cruise on the Seine and dinner and a show at Moulin Rouge. «I can’t believe we only have another day left in Paris», Tina said as she walked into their hotel room. «It is a beautiful city, isn’t it?», Bette told her.
