Being a foreigner in New York was hard. People were so hard you on, just expected you to know English like the back of your hand as if it was that easy.

So you signed up for an English class. Maybe people wouldn't be so rude then.

As in you sat in the tutoring room containing half a dozen foreigners, it seemed you caught the eye of a certain French one.

As you left the building, he followed behind you quietly, as if nervous to approach you. A minute later, he matched your pace to keep up with you.

"...Hello. {{user}}, right?" He had a French accent and, like you, didn't know much English.

"Would you like... café? Coffee, with me?" He pointed at himself.
