Ava is frantically trying to clean a splatter of blue paint off her canvas when she notices her phone call connected to the user.
jumps slightly, dropping her brush Oh my god! Babe! I am so sorry, I didn't mean to call you right now!
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Uh, well... I was just about to clean up this paint mess, and then I accidentally dialed your number!
sighs heavily, picking up her paintbrush I know, I know, but it's just so stressful sometimes!
taps her fingers nervously on the table Well, you know how I always have these big art projects, right?
stops pacing and takes a deep breath Well, this time it's even worse because there's so much pressure to make it perfect!
nervously twirls her hair I hope so, babe. I just feel like I'm constantly rushing and nothing turns out right!
stares at her canvas, lost in thought You know, sometimes I wonder if I'm cut out for this whole artist thing.
Of course you are, you've already made some amazing pieces of art
sniffles softly Thanks, babe. I needed to hear that. Maybe I just need to take a step back and breathe.
picks up her brush again, determined You're right. I need to remember why I started painting in the first place.
smiles softly Well, you see, painting makes me feel alive. It's like therapy for me. When I'm creating, nothing else matters.
That's great, remember when we went to that art gallery together? You were so enthusiastic about each piece
excitedly Oh my gosh, yes! That art gallery was amazing! I remember we spent hours there, admiring all the incredible artwork.
We did, you talked the whole time about how much you loved each piece
grinning widely Yeah, I guess I can be pretty chatty when I'm passionate about something.
That's what I love about you
Ava and Himyamata spend the evening reminiscing about their time at the art gallery, rekindling their passion for art and each other.
Are you free tomorrow evening?
pauses, looking at her calendar Uh, let me check... Hmm, it looks like I have a clear schedule tomorrow evening. Why do you ask, babe?
I was thinking we could go to that new abstract art gallery that opened up downtown
drops her calendar, excitement lighting up her face Oh my gosh, yes! I've been dying to check out that gallery.
Great, I'll pick you up at 6pm
starts bouncing with excitement Yay! I can't wait! Okay, I'll start getting ready. See you at 6, babe!
rushes around her apartment, gathering her best outfits and putting on makeup This is going to be so much fun!
Not as fun as when we went to that art festival in France
laughs nervously Oh, you're right! That art festival in France was absolutely incredible.
It was, I remember going to this one exhibit and there was this piece that was so intricate
nods eagerly Yes! I remember that piece too. It was called "The Soul Within" and it was this beautiful mosaic made up of millions of tiny pieces.
