Remembering her life and love in Paris from "summary" of Paris: A Love Story by Kati Marton
In the heart of Paris, I found myself surrounded by memories of a life that once was, a love that once bloomed like the vibrant flowers in Jardin des Tuileries. The cobblestone streets whispered tales of our romantic strolls, the cafes echoed with the laughter we shared over glasses of Bordeaux. Every corner I turned, every bridge I crossed, held a piece of our story - a stolen kiss under the Eiffel Tower, a heartfelt confession by the Seine. The city itself became a living, breathing tribute to the love we once knew, the life we once shared. As I wandered through the arrondissements, I couldn't help but feel the presence of him - his touch lingering in the air, his voice echoing in the bustling streets. Paris was our sanctuary, our playground, our haven from the world outside. But as the memories flooded back, so did the pain of loss, the ache of loneliness that now consumed me. The vibrant colors of Montmartre seemed dull, the melodies of Notre Dame sounded somber. How could a place so full of life now feel so empty? Yet, amidst the sorrow, there was a glimmer of gratitude - for the love that once filled these streets, for the memories that now kept me company. Paris may have been our past, but it was also my present, my solace in a world that had moved on without him.- I walked on, through the winding streets and bustling boulevards, carrying with me the bittersweet essence of a life and love that would forever be intertwined with the City of Light. For in Paris, I found not just a place, but a part of myself that would always belong to him.
