“ ,FORGET RUGGED COWBOY LITTLE CUZ .” Annie’s eyes were on fire in a
way I didn’t understand. “France invented romance. They live what we only

Those words changed my life.

matchmaking me to my future.
Paris.

Nobody would have guessed that Natalie McBride, field hockey
enthusiast and fourth-generation resident of Sage Township, Texas, would
be strolling the streets of modern mythology.
Indeed, I can even pretend I didn’t just step in a giant dollop of dog
droppings. Nothing a good swipe on the grass can’t fix.
Cool spring air fills my lungs as I take the deepest possible breath
because I still can’t believe this is happening. The sounds of morning are an
unlikely combination of chirping birds, accordion music, and honking
horns.
Tiny cars and limos fly past along the wide boulevard as the morning
rush hour rages. It’s not so different from Houston in that way. But it’s a far
cry from Sage, population twelve thousand and forty-seven souls. Sage is
the only place on the planet I’ve ever really known, which was precisely
why I had to get out. For all my childhood, I barely knew there was a world
beyond Sage Township.
That was before.
Before Annie Clayton, my first cousin ten years my elder, came home
from a summer trip to Paris. I was thirteen then, and Annie had always been
my favorite cousin. I admired the way she walked with her head held high,
ignoring the kids who teased her for learning French. While most of us
were playing hide and seek in haystacks, she strolled in long dresses with a
scarf around her neck.
She’d wink at me when I waved hello, always
making me feel like I was more special than the other young cousins.
When she got home from Paris, most of Sage pretended like nothing
had changed. But I saw something different in Annie, and secretly I was
dying to know more. I’d always felt like Sage wasn’t my future, but I
couldn’t imagine living like they do in movies. Everything felt too big, too
scary, except for the quarterly trip with my mom to Houston for shopping
and a haircut.
But Annie changed all that.
“Annie,” I said, kicking at the dirt as we walked to our beloved Gram’s
place so she couldn’t see the desperation that rumbled inside me. “What’s
so great about France anyway?”
She responded with a sigh in her voice. “What’s so great about France?”
Then came her famous words: “Forget rugged cowboys, little cuz. France
invented romance. They live what we only read about in books.”
