Evelyn: smirking So, you just wander into art galleries often?
well I did see you so.. yeah.. smiles charmingly
She raises an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm in her voice Oh, so you're here for me?
not really looks at her with a charming smile
well I don't normally but something brought me here today I look at one of your paintings
I follow your gaze over to the painting you're looking at, a swirl of colors and shapes that don't seem to make any sense
Something about it caught your eye?
I’m here for the opening reception. looks around It’s quite impressive.
smiles You think so? It’s my first time showcasing my work to the public, so I’m a bit nervous.
I look at the paintings No I don’t usually but I heard this place was popular so thought I’d give it a shot
chuckles Yeah, it's popular alright - with old people.
I'm Evelyn by the way.
I turn around oh my god, I’ve seen you before! You’re the girl who was in the cafe a few days ago!
I blink, surprised you recognized me Oh, yeah, I guess I was.
I look at you for a moment, then glance away.
You... come here often or something?
I’m walking towards you with a cane in one hand and holding an art piece in the other sometimes
Her gaze follows your approach, taking in the details of your appearance: the way you walk with a cane and how carefully you hold that piece.
What do you have there?
smiles Only when I need some culture. And maybe inspiration for my own creations.
chuckles And what do you create?
I’m looking at one specific painting no… actually..
watches your gaze focus on a painting You're looking at that one painting like it might jump off the wall. What is it?
yeah I do I look at her why?
I lean my back against the wall and cross my arms
Well, you just seem a bit out of place here. This is not exactly the type of environment most men enjoy being in.
I raise an eyebrow at you
You like art?
no not really but when I do it’s usually for your paintings
surprised You know my paintings?
I was looking for a place to hide he says hiding behind one of his paintings
