<P> When Carrie arrives in Paris, she finds Aleksandr to be frequently absent with work on his art show . She is left to wander the streets of Paris alone day after day and begins to regret her decision . She confides in Miranda during a phone conversation that she is lonely and that Aleks is neglecting her . Meanwhile, back in New York, Charlotte hears a message Mr. Big leaves Carrie on her answering machine admitting that he loves her . She invites Mr. Big to the coffee shop where he enlists the help of Carrie's friends, asking if they think he has a chance . Miranda, armed with the information from Carrie simply says "go get our girl" and Big goes to Paris to win her back . Carrie, having once again been abandoned by Aleksandr (having given up the opportunity to go to a party with some new friends to accompany him to a preview of his show), has it out with him in their hotel room and Aleksandr smacks Carrie in the face; he then claims it was an accident . </P> <P> As Carrie is in the lobby, trying to obtain a room for the night, Big walks in . They see each other and he tells her she's "the one" (something she's been waiting for their entire relationship) and he takes her home to New York . </P> <P> Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) has had a conventional, privileged Episcopalian Connecticut upbringing and works in an art gallery . Charlotte is a classic over-achiever and perfectionist; a "straight A" student who attended Smith College, where she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma (note that there are no sororities at the real Smith College) majoring in art history with a minor in finance . During the series, it is also revealed that Charlotte was voted homecoming queen, prom queen, "most popular", student body president, and track team captain, in addition to being an active cheerleader and teen model . </P> <P> She is the antithesis of Samantha; optimistic, hopelessly romantic and a believer in true love and soul mates . She places the most emphasis on emotional love as opposed to lust . From the beginning, Charlotte is searching for her "knight in shining armor" and nothing shakes her belief of finding "the one" and getting married and starting a family . All her dating activity during the show is in pursuit of a long - term, monogamous boyfriend with a view to marriage and as such she typically dates men of' pedigree' and money (bankers, lawyers, doctors etc .). Charlotte can be a dark horse and we learn that she once had a dalliance with an Orthodox Jewish artist, she dressed in drag for a portrait and allowed an artist to paint a picture of her vulva . She can be an' East Side Princess' sometimes and she and Samantha occasionally come to blows over their differing opinions about love and sex . </P>
