room when she had her baby but that would be up to the both of them to extend the invitation. With a tear in her eye, Maria hugged me one last time at the door. I knew it came from the joy that she was feeling and I was happy to be a part of that joy.

    “Emily, that was so cool what you did for your friends there and it makes me think about what will be the next step for me. You know that I’ve written relationships books but it’s really my art that has captured my heart. Since I met you, I started to think that maybe there was even more that I could do. I finally secured the location of where I will be displaying my art and have begun the process of getting it ready. I have decided to display not only my art on the wall but I will also be promoting local talent that has never had a real voice before.”
    “Wow, that’s not only a great idea but a very generous one too. I am really proud of you, Ethan Sterling. I’ve been waiting for years for my boss to hand down the business to me but I am starting to wonder if taking on that business would be the right idea for me. I’ve always had this nagging feeling inside me that told me it was possible for me to open my own boutique and have my creations on display and for sale. Hearing about how you want to help the local art community makes me wonder if I could do the same thing for budding fashion designers. As designers we just need someone to reveal our creations to the public.”
    “That would be a great idea. It would be kind of a melding of our minds and I could certainly help you with bringing your vision to life. I won’t do anything behind your back but I am asking you to let me help you. I could get this rolling as soon as tomorrow if you want. There is available space near my gallery and I think that it would make the perfect environment for your boutique. It has plenty of foot traffic and a storefront that would make it the perfect place to advertise your ‘art’.”
    “Seeing that you are asking me for my permission, I don’t know if there is any way that I can say no. If you can do anything to help me out, I would be eternally grateful. You know, if it wasn’t for this journey that I am on, I would never think myself capable of such a thing but now that the notion is out there, I realize that it is my dream to own my own boutique. I want to run things my way and not have to take orders from anybody else. Although I am allowing you to help me with this, you have to realize that this is my dream and whatever you decide has to go through me first.”
    “Listen to us making plans. Isn’t it strange that our plans are almost identical? I guess being artists, we have the same kind of temperament and attention to detail. With that being said, I believe that you’re wearing an ‘Emily original’ right now?” The amazing thing was that he was correct. Even Maria noticed my dress on arrival and whispered to me that it looked great on me and it would look even better coming off. That wasn’t my intention but I had to smile thinking of what it would look like coming off my body by the hands of Ethan.
    He must’ve been thinking the same thing because he leaned in and kissed my shoulder. The strap that held it up began to move down with his fingertips leading the way. His other hand was busy with the other strap. He began to lick my neck and then touch the tip of his tongue to my ear. He pulled on my earring and made me gasp out loud as he moved his right hand up my thigh to seek out what was underneath my dress.
    “Emily, the purple color, the way that the light plays on the material and how the dress leaves just enough to the imagination, makes me see your talent for what it truly is. I think that you owe it to yourself and to others, to share your designs.” His loving encouragement made me feel like taking this to the bedroom. He must have read my mind because he took my hand and led me down the hall to the bedroom. My mind was whispering to me to be
