I watch him carefully, wondering what I can say to get him to leave. “I’m not leaving until you answer some questions. Plus, I’m holding your sketchbook hostage, so you might want to cooperate.” I raise an eyebrow at him. I guess there isn’t much I can say. “This isn’t a hostage negotiation.” He chuckles half-heartedly as his eyes take me in, almost sizing me up. “I guess I should introduce myself.” He holds a hand out for me to shake. “I’m Nathan.” I stare at his hand for a moment. “Taylor,” I reply, meeting his eyes again without taking his hand. He lets his hand fall back to his side. “At least I got you to say something non-hostile.” “I haven’t been hostile,” I object. His eyebrows shoot up. “Oh, haven’t you?” “Why don’t you leave me alone?” I snap. “Leave and don’t come back.” I move passed him, heading for my apartment. He can’t follow and annoy me if I lock the door. “Where are you going?” he demands. I look back over my shoulder and roll my eyes at him, indicating the answer should be obvious: anywhere he isn’t. Once inside, I slam the door behind me. “That was totally not hostile!” he calls after me, sarcastically. I quickly head for my bedroom door, slamming it, too.","author":"Ashley Earley","tags":["abandon","abandoned","alone","alone-in-paris","art","artist","bookworm","bridge","car-crash","cute","cute-guys","cute-moment","cute-things-guys-say","depression","draw","eiffel-tower","hostile","hot","lock-bridge","paris","paris-at-night","reader","romance","romance-humor","romance-novel","romance-novels","scared-of","scared-young-love","sketch","sketch-artist","suicide","teen","teen-book","teen-contemporary-romance","teen-fiction","teen-romance","water","writer","writers-life","young-adult","young-adult-book","young-adult-contemporary","young-adult-contemporary-romance","young-adult-fiction","young-adult-romance"],"id":150621,"author_id":"Ashley+Earley"},{"text":"I take in all the colorful locks that line the bridge.
