contacts him; when Gaston returns, Gigi says she would "rather be miserable with [him] than without [him]." Later that night, Gigi emerges from her room prepared to accept her fate and take up her role as Gastons mistress. For the first time, she appears as a woman, not a young girl. Gaston is enchanted when he picks Gigi up and takes her to dinner at one of Paris most patronized restaurants, Maxims. Gigis awkwardness is gone and she seems perfectly at ease. Nevertheless, patrons stares make Gaston extremely uncomfortable as he realises Gigis interpretation of things may have been accurate after all, and discovers his love for her makes the idea of her as his mistress, an unbearable one. Angered by Honorés comments, Gaston leaves the party with Gigi in tow, taking her home without explanation. A weeping Gigi begs to know what she has done to offend him, but Gaston does not answer until he arrives at Mamitas and humbly asks for Gigis hand in marriage. The closing scene shows a happily married Gaston and Gigi strolling in the park together, as Honoré looks on approvingly.
