I attended the wedding of my cousin in Paris recently. Yes, she really lives in Paris.
It had been a while since we’d seen each other – years, in fact.
I had forgotten the close connection we had, until first sight of her again.
Not only was she wearing a similar outfit to the one I had worn in Toronto a few days earlier, but her shoes made me smile.
“Margiela’s?”, I asked.
“How did you know?”, she replied.
I almost bought the same ones, opting for a different pair instead – the ones I had worn strolling around Paris that very day.
“You don’t mean the diagonal ones, do you?”, she quizzed.
I smiled. Of course I did.
You could say our soles are connected.
