"Shall we roam the streets of Paris then?"

"Shush, beloved. Are you aware not of the pandemic? And they do say it is no longer romantic there."

But he replied, completely disregarding the prior matter,
"Was it ever about the place?"

Replaced by our heartbeat, our tongues ceased

"Pouvons-nous errent dans les rues de Paris, du moins pas dans nos rêves comme avant?"

"What?" she asked, delicately waking from her half slumber

"Nothing," he smiled. "sleep now."

Can we roam the streets of Paris, at least not in our dreams like before?
