I ve been dreaming about this forever, but I m still a little stunned that it s happening. I m in New York. I live here now. This is real. This is weird. This is . . . amazing.
The airport terminal looks like a city-sized shopping mall, with everything from luxury brands to coffee shops lining the halls, and so many people. More people than I feel I ve seen in my entire life. In my earbuds, Taylor Swift sings an anthem I ve selected for this very moment, the upbeat melody drowning out the cacophony of the terminal. Welcome to New York! It s been waiting for you.
Not as much as I ve been waiting for it.
After going through customs, I m looking for the signs for baggage claim, when my heart stops. At the end of the conveyor belt, there s a tall guy with blond hair, square shoulders, and skinny legs. I immediately recognize him as the one. The one I ve been thinking about nonstop, the one I meet every night in my dreams, the one and only Zach.
Our meeting is in just two days, but right this minute I feel sweaty, my skin dried from the air-conditioning on the plane, my breath stale from the gross industrial food. It s not at all how I hoped our reunion would go after a whole year of fantasizing about it, but I have no choice. Zach is here now. So.
I zigzag past the other passengers between us, and before the nerves get to me, I put on my best smile and tap him on the shoulder. He turns around. I stare at him, my brain a little slow to process reality. This is not Zach. In fact, he doesn t look anything like Zach. Up close, he s not even blond. I made this up in my head. Silently cursing, I blame the jet lag.
Um, yeah? He sounds annoyed.
I have to say something now. Hi! Do you know when our suitcases are coming out? My dad s waiting for me.
The guy opens his eyes wide and, without responding, points a finger at the screen above the conveyor belt. The one everyone has been looking at, which

indicates the exact time four minutes from now when our luggage will start feeding out onto the belt.
Perfect! I say extra-cheerful. Deep down I m mortified. I m going to text him!
My cheeks burning, I fall back into the crowd. How many minutes is two days?
All is forgotten when I spot Papa s and Miguel s happy faces beaming back at me from just outside the sliding doors to the terminal. Papa throws his arms in the air in a motion that I think is supposed to be a wave but that actually makes him look like a blown-up marionette shimmying in the wind, the kind you see outside used-car dealerships on American TV.
As soon as I m within reach, we give each other la bise one kiss on each cheek, the French way. Then, he pulls me into an American hug. That s what he always told me as a child: when you have two cultures, you get to have the best of everything. Sometimes that means double of a good thing, like a toasted cheese sandwich on a baguette. Or tarte aux pommes with crust on top, which, yes, I know, is just apple pie.
Papa s boyfriend I mean, his fiancé, Miguel hugs and kisses me: he s learning fast.
Papa has lived in Manhattan most of his life. He visits his company s headquarters a wine distributor in Paris several times a year for work, and spends most of his vacation time hanging out with us in France. Miguel has even tagged along a few times. I ve never had the opportunity to visit them in New York . . . until now.
Miguel hands me an oiled paper box marked DOUGH. Your dad wanted to bring welcome balloons, he says,
