Love StoryI’d been work in the Pari

Love Story

I’d been work in the Paris branch of a London based merchant bank. I remember it was a
beautiful spring day and I’d decided to spend my lunch break in the Tuileries gardens. I
had bought a baguette and some cold meat and found myself a bench next to the pool.
I’d only been there a few moments when a gorgeous young lady come up and asked if she
could join me. She had a thermos flask of coffee and a bag of fresh fruit. We sat on the
bench, shared our meal and chatted for ages. Her name was Sandra and she was working
in Paris as a nanny. We fell in love, and eventually married three years later in London.

We had been having a few problems recently, and I had to admit that our relationship had
got a bit boring since our youngest daughter had left for university.
I couldn’t really blame her. I’d been working such long hours that we barely saw each
others. When we did have some time together, I was usually so exhausted that I simply
fell asleep in front of the TV.
When I had got home from work the night before I’d found a note from Sandra on the
kitchen table. It said that she needed to get away for a few days and would come back
later in the week. After re-reading Sandra’s note it suddenly occurred to me that the
following day would be exactly 25 years since Sandra and I first met in Paris. We had
always celebrated this date together, but this time she had obviously decided to spent it
away from me.
I suddenly felt I had to go to Paris on the anniversary of our first meeting. On my own,
perhaps, I would be able to see things more clearly.
I decided to catch the first Eurostar train the next morning. Soon after the train arrived at
the Gare du Nord in Paris, unsure of where I was going, I bought a ticket and went
straight down to the Metro. Coming out of the Metro, I realized I was quite close to the
Tuileries so I decided to see if I could find our bench.

As it was nearly midday, I bought some lunch – the same lunch I’d had 25 years before.
Then I headed for the gardens, making my way trough the tourists who crowded the Rue
de Rivoli. I paused at the gates of the gardens, wishing that Sandra was with me. I
eventually went trough the gates and walked along the path past some green trees, statues
and flowerbeds. When I arrived at the pool I saw the bench was still there. It was empty,
so I went over and sat down. I took the food out of the bag, tore off a piece of the baguette
and began to eat. Suddenly I heard a woman’s voice behind me.
“So you didn’t forget me absolutely.” It cried. Taken by surprise I suddenly turned
around. I saw my wife: she was really unhappy.
“Sandra!” I moaned.
She turned by the other part and said in tears:
“It is over. Goodbye…”. And then she ran away.
I didn’t try to follow her: it would not be served to make her come back with me.
