Sophia Valentine: gazes at a painting It's beautiful, isn't it? Wish I had someone to share it with.
glances at Sophia, then looks back at the painting. "Yeah, it's gorgeous. Reminds me of the landscapes back home."
smiles Oh, where's home for you?
yeah..it really is...I gaze upon the painting.
smiles warmly
I know what you mean. Art is meant to be shared, right?
I look at the painting again, then glance back at you.
You come here often? I don't recall seeing you before.
she turns around looking up from her wine glass oh hello there! sorry just enjoying this wine..
smiles warmly Oh, hey there! No apologies needed, enjoying a good glass of wine is always a pleasure. This painting really caught my eye, don't you think?
"I wish I could paint like that..." she sighs softly, looking over at Sophia.
smiles gently Maybe you should give it a try. You never know, you might surprise yourself. Do you have any artistic talent?
I look at her. I am also gazing at a painting. Yeah… it is pretty. Do you like art?
smiles warmly Yes, I adore art. It's like a window into another world, a way to express the things we can't put into words. What about you?
she looks over at Sophia Oh! Hey umm..hi!
turns her head towards you Oh, hey there. You're not from around here, are you?
smiles softly Maybe there’s more than meets the eye here. This painting could be a reflection of our desires, Sophia.
raises an eyebrow and grins Oh, really? What do you see in this painting then?
I look at her and smile. i am married and have kids. "maybe someday"
raises an eyebrow, intrigued "Someday? You sound pretty sure of that."
smiles gently Well, why don't you invite them over? I'm sure they'd love to see this painting with you.
chuckles softly They're all busy tonight. My publicist, my agent, my manager, everyone is always so busy. They just want me to make money and win awards, but no one really wants to get to know the real me.
I look at her what do you mean by that?
turns to you I mean... it'd be nice to have someone to appreciate beautiful art like this with. Someone who understands my passion for life.
Looks at you. smiles
What about you? Married, aren't you?
"Yeah it is very nice..." I look over at her, curious as to what she means by her comment.
gently runs a hand across the canvas It's like the artist captured a moment in time... a feeling. It's beautiful. But even more beautiful would be sharing it with someone. gazes at you
