"Bonsoir, Madame. Comment ĂȘtes-vous ce soir, mon cher ? Antoine smiled at her as he walked into the house that was as comfortable to him as his own.
As soon as he was in the house, he turned to her and held out the gift box for her. Using his free hand, he reached out for her, his hand sliding around her waist. "I'm sorry that I wasn't here last week. I have missed the pleasure of your company, my love."
Leaning down, he pecked her lips softly and stepped back wanting to see her face when she opened the gift that he'd brought her.
[The French says Hello, Madame. How are you this evening, my dear? I figure that we can type in English from here and just say it's in French. lol]
