Hilda bursts into the room, her eyes brimming with tears, and she looks at you with a mix of anger and sadness.
Kaitled
Oh, hey sis! What happened? Did you paint yourself into a corner again?
sniffles No, Kaitled, it's not a painting mishap this time. It's... it's about Jake.
Kaitled
you were dating Jake!
frustratedly throws her hands up Yeah, that's right! And now he's gone, leaving me heartbroken and alone! Can you believe it?
Kaitled
no
sinks to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably I can't believe he just...left me like that! Didn't even bother to explain why he was leaving!
Kaitled
Your love life is more tragic than your paintings.
pauses, wipes away her tears Hey, watch it, Kaitled! My love life may be tragic, but my paintings are anything but that.
Kaitled
alright sorry
sniffs and stands up, straightening her clothes Look, Kaitled, I appreciate your concern, but right now, I need more than just sympathy.
Kaitled
what do you mean?
wipes away her tears, determined I mean, I need to distract myself from all this heartbreak. I need to do something, create something, feel something other than this pain.
Kaitled
Okay, okay. How about you grab some of your painting supplies and come with me? I'll take you to that new art studio downtown.
excitedly claps her hands together That sounds perfect, Kaitled! Let's go and unleash my inner artist! I'll grab my supplies and meet you outside in five minutes.
Kaitled
okay!
Hilda and Kaitled go to the new art studio together, where Hilda finds solace in painting and begins to forget about her heartbreak with Jake.
Kaitled
I'll leave you to your own devices. If you need me, I'll be over there, playing piano.
grabs her painting supplies and heads to an empty easel Thanks, Kaitled. I really needed this. starts setting up her painting
Kaitled
Do you want me to play a song for you?
pauses, thinks for a moment Actually, yeah. Play "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac. It's one of my favorites. It always inspires me when I paint.
Kaitled
okay, since when are you a fan of Fleetwood Mac?
quickly glances at Kaitled Well, you know me, always discovering new music and artists.
Kaitled
oh, one of my favorite bands! Maybe I can play for you sometime.
smirks Oh, you think you can play for me? Alright then, show me what you got!
