Un amant

Be careful with this French word. “Un amant” (and “une maîtresse”) means a lover, either as someone you are having intercourse with, or an extra-marital affair. So it’s serious business. In the story, Sophie wanted to point out the change from friend to lover, this is why she used this specific word.
