It is midnight and yet it is as bright as day. Chablis and Chandon are in love but they don’t know it yet. Chandon intends to declare his undying love tonight and tonight the atmosphere is ideal.

Chandon uses the pretext of a sudden and urgent desire to take a walk to lure Chablis out. It is not hot hot, it is October, end of October for more accuracy. The winter hair has started to show up and that’s a good thing.

Chandon turns around. Chablis is following him, at her own pace, of course, but she is not far behind. He slows down every time he jumps from roof to roof.

It is high time that they reach THE perfect spot to open up his heart.

That’s it. Chandon sits on a piece of slightly sloping midnight blue slate roof just in front of buildings with windows sometimes in the shade sometimes lit. Chablis slips right next to him. She brushes him with the tips of her hair. Chandon shivers.

All of a sudden, he goes for it. He stares, with his bronze eyes of a cat transfixed with love, into the almond green eyes of his sweet heart.

She says nothing, everything passes through gestures, subtle rubbings, looks that say it all. Chandon is over the moon. How right he was…

Rather than going home, the two lovebirds, without consulting each other, prolong this magical moment by remaining motionless under this sky so blue at night. The spectacle before them is splendid, stunning. Yet no one on the balconies, it’s not the ideal season to hang out, except for felines.

It moves behind a curtain. Chandon sees like a shadow. There is already a whole movie in his head. How funny it is. If only humans knew everything that goes on in their pet’s brain. They would be really surprised!

Suddenly, Chablis gets up and gives the sign of departure. Chandon is following her very, very closely…
