But that's not quite right either.I miss Paris, but it's not home. It's more like... I miss this. This warmth over the telephone. Is it possible for home to be a person and not a place? Bridgette used to be home to me. Maybe St. Clair is my new home.I mull this over as our voices grow tired and we stop talking. We just keep each other company. My breath. His breath. My breath. His breath.I could never tell him, but it's true.This is home. The two of us.

In this passage from "Anna and the French Kiss," the narrator reflects on the concept of home, realizing it's not necessarily a place but rather a person or a feeling. Although they miss Paris, they clarify that Paris is not their home, but rather the warmth and comfort they experience over the phone. The narrator's past connection to Bridgette as home suggests a shifting sense of belonging, with St. Clair potentially becoming their new sense of home.

The narrator meditates on the quiet intimacy shared with St. Clair, emphasizing that their togetherness, symbolized through their synchronized breaths, creates a sense of home. Despite never confessing it aloud, they feel that this closeness and the connection between them define what truly makes them feel at home — simply being together.
