Don’t hate me, but I showed Austin some of your art and he talked to Vera and she wants to bring you in to do a show next weekend.
Ella
You’re joking.
I told you your art belongs in a museum. This is just the first step, El.
Ella
I have to see if I can get someone to watch Chloe.
Chloe can always come.
Ella
I’m not sure if I have enough pieces to bring.
One would be enough.
Ella
I don’t know, Cole. I’m not sure if they’re good enough to be featured somewhere like VT Galleries.
I never mentioned the name of the gallery but she must have done some digging on the internet after I mentioned Vera’s name.
Ella, stop it. You’re more than good enough. Vera wants you there for a reason.
I need you to believe in yourself the same way I do.
Ella
But what if no one else wants them?
But what if everyone does?
Ella
I’ve never done anything like this before.
Then there’s no better time to take the plunge.
Ella
Okay, I’ll do it.
“She’s in.”
Austin smiles at me from across the table. “Wonderful. Vera wants her email address so her assistant can get in touch with her.”
Good decision.
Send me your email so they can get all the information to you.
She sends me her email and I pass it along to Austin. He doesn't hesitate to send it to his cousin. Knowing Ella is probably feeling anxious from all of this, I send her one last reassuring text.
I promise you won’t regret this.
Ella
