CHAPTER 107

  Having gone past all bickerings as well as introducing Emerald and Leonardo to one another, the two groups of lovers and a very sulky third wheeler sat in the living room, listening to Carol rant on and on about how she had been hired to design something of the ancient French culture for a family that had just relocated to SoHo from the central Transalpine Gaul.

  She gushed endlessly about how their French accent had been so thickly interlaced with their words that it had felt like she was indeed in the City of Love. She also fangirled over one of the old couple's sons and she narrated how he had flirted endlessly with her with his honeycomb of a baritone voice.

  Needless to say, third wheeler Keelan had found immense pleasure in Leonardo's obvious jealousy from his scowl to how he had kissed Carol so possessively to shut her up.
