THE STORY

It's Friday the fourth of June. The window of the old shop in the Croix-Rousse says "Out Loud" in big letters. Inside, there's a cake from Sylvie, Emma is wearing Chloe's red dress, and there are more people than Emma expected. Even Nathalie and the bank manager have come. At midnight, Emma and Hugo are alone in the school, and there's a message from Chicago. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
