Our favorite activity together is, by far, drawing. I’m teaching her how to do little doodles like I do. She leaves them for me, so when I go to bed every night, I find folded pieces of paper on my nightstand—one a beret-wearing whale and the next day a panda sitting on a bed of flowers. On my fifth day in Paris, I finally have my first night off. Phoenix comes over around 6 p.m., relieving me of my duties for the night. As much as I love this job, I’ve been looking forward to this all week.
