'I can feel his hands everywhere, as if he is exploring each millimetre of my body with his fingertips. As I kiss his neck I inhale his scent and it intoxicates me. My Alfons.'Gabriella and Alfons met at university and became friends. Close friends. Over the years the attraction between the two of them grew stronger and stronger but it never led to anything more. After they graduated from university Alfons moved to Paris to try to make a living as a painter, but they never lost touch. Now, after seven years, Gabriella has finally travelled to Paris to see Alfons again. He has given her an address where they are supposed too meet, but she can barely believe the meeting is actually happening. Will he be there? Will the attraction between them still be there? Will they finally give in to their desire in the most romantic city in the world? A dream of Paris is the first story about Gabriella and Alfons.
