My new French lover

It's official. I have a new French lover and its name is Almond Croissant.

Real life conversation (with enhancements):

T: Mom, are you going to abandon us for ... for that?

F: (looks stricken)

K: No, of course not, honey.
(Extremely long dramatic pause)

(Still pausing.)

But I might take off for a very long weekend. . .
