A moment of reserve. "That was it? The whole story?""Yes. God, you're right. That was pants."I sidestep another aggressive couscous vendor. "Pants?""Rubbish. Crap. Shite.". Oh heavens, that's cute.
In this excerpt from "Anna and the French Kiss" by Stephanie Perkins, the characters share a brief but candid exchange. One person seeks clarity or confirmation, asking if that was the entire story, to which the other responds somewhat dismissively, implying the story was unimpressive or inadequate.
They then exchange casual criticisms, calling the story "pants" and other unpleasant terms, while also showing a playful side by reacting to a vendor's aggressiveness. The dialogue reflects a mix of skepticism and lightheartedness, capturing the characters' personalities and the lively atmosphere around them.
