"Yes, momma. Okay, I love you too. Bye." I hung up happily. I'd just told my mother about Kadij Koon. She was so happy for me. James had said I could call her anytime. And I would. I preferred to wait till the weekend when I'd be free to call her. I was so happy and I was gonna share the news with Rick that night during our date.

That evening, after the movies, Rick took me to a chic restaurant. I saw it as the right time to tell him about my good news.
"Guess what, honey?" I started.
"What?"
"Someone bought one of my paintings and–"
"You paint?" he cut in to my greatest surprise.
"Yes! I always come to paint portraits of Lucas. How could you forget?" I asked, surprised.
"Oh forgive me, princess. It always slips out of my mind. I'm sorry princess." he held my hand and kissed it, "You were saying?"
I scoffed but soon gave in. I told him about Kadij Koon and her card. He was really happy for me.
"That's awesome, baby!"
