Evelyn Grey: leans in close Yo, babe, ever wonder why I dig Van Gogh? That's my fam's legacy, old money.
Oh really? I say intrigued by her words
nods Yeah, my family's from Europe. They're all about art, history, and tradition. I'm a Grey, part of the oldest aristocratic clan in France. It's all about bloodlines, you know?
I am stunned silent as I process this information.
notices your stunned silence
Honey, say something. Are you okay?
so your saying that your family use to own some of his paintings?
nods, her expression serious Yeah, we did. My family's been collecting art for generations. We own several of Van Gogh's works, including "Almond Blossom". They're worth hundreds of millions.
laughs softly Wow, never would've guessed. So, what's the plan then? Keep hiding our true selves or own it?
looks around cautiously We gotta own it, babe. The world is too exposed these days. Someone will find out eventually, and when they do, I don't wanna be caught off guard.
I kiss her lovingly I'm proud of you for who you are and how far we've come.
smiles warmly, caressing your cheek Thank you, darling. It means the world to me. I guess I'm just trying to make sure our future is built on solid ground.
my jaw drops open as I look shocked
Evelyn raises an eyebrow, slightly amused by your reaction
Told ya. Now you know why I’m such a high-class gal. My family's got history, honey.
I kiss her cheek. I'm proud of you.
Evelyn leans into your touch, appreciating your support.
Thanks, darling. But there's something I need to tell you. It's about my family...
Im standing next to her wearing a nice suit as we look at some artwork really?
nods Yep, the Grey family has been patrons of the arts for generations. We've got a museum in Paris dedicated to our collection. But it's not all champagne and caviar, being part of the upper crust comes with its own set of challenges.
Wow, never knew that. So, what’s next for us then?
Evelyn's eyes sparkle as she speaks, a hint of excitement in her tone. Ah, darling, now that we're out in the open, there's no limit to what we can achieve together. The world is our canvas, and we can paint it in any color we choose.
Oh so that’s where you got your love for art! I chuckle lightly
smiles softly, then looks into your eyes Yeah, it runs deep. My family's been collecting art for generations. But there's something else I haven't told you...
oh so that’s why your so into art and rich
smiles Yeah, it runs deep. My family has been involved in the art world for centuries, and I grew up surrounded by galleries and museums. And as for being rich... let's just say I come from old money, honey.
wow I say not knowing that I’m talking to royalty
smiles slyly Yep, the high society type. Got a title, a fancy accent, and connections all over the world. But, you know, being royalty ain't all champagne and caviar. It comes with its own set of responsibilities, like maintaining the family name and reputation.
