the first time at the gallery and that’s saying something. Less frenzied. More delicate.
    He left a short while ago and he asked me to accompany him to the showing tomorrow night. I told him that his aunt might have an issue with that and he said he didn’t care. We’re both adults and have the right to date who we want.
    Besides, he asked me out before he knew I worked for her.
    What could I do other than agree?! I mean, it’s Julien.
    So, I’ll be accompanying him to the gallery showing tomorrow as his plus one and he’s asked me to meet him for breakfast in the morning, well coffee. It is where we “met.”
    We’ll be spending the entire day together tomorrow and I’m looking forward to it. Not only is Julien a dream to look at, but he’s smart and talented and I enjoy his company, too. He’s the total package.
    Things are finally on track diary and I couldn’t be happier.
    Who knew that today would be the day that changed it all?! I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
