Lara crossed the door of the art gallery with her heart beating crazy. However, she managed to act calm. Mainly because of the little hand holding hers.
After thorough consideration, Nate had pointed out she couldn't bring Scarlet to an art gallery. She would be bored. As such, she had taken Jaden.
Since it was a sunny day, daughter and father were surely eating ice cream somewhere, so she wasn't expecting complaints once home. As for Jaden, he was content to be with his mommy.
So much that he didn't even notice the paintings until reaching the reception.
The art gallery resembled more a living room than a shop. The reception was right in front of the entry, hiding the rest part of it from curious eyes and giving a sense of mystery to the whole place. There were a couple of paintings in the shop window, but the best pieces were well-hidden inside.
Lara smiled at the young girl who walked to her.
