A Paris Affair (6 page)

Every Vacation Ends

Philippe and the children came back without incident, and they were all happy to be together again. The children were tanned and rested, and Philippe seemed to have enjoyed himself despite spending a week with his parents. His family’s happiness was his own. The children’s tan faces reminded him of a week well spent, and he was grateful for the air of calm the week had brought to his wife.

She felt the letdown that came with the end of every vacation, but maybe it was also a small relief to return to her own surroundings. The children and their din, and Philippe, as he was, were those surroundings. She looked at his tall, thin frame and his slight paunch. She noticed that he was beginning to stoop slightly.

She didn’t say much about how she had spent her days; she said that there wasn’t much to tell. “Just rest and relaxation,” she told Philippe “I think the Americans call it R & R.”
