Chapter Seventeen

After having breakfast together, Taylor had to hunker down in her office to work on the promotional content for Clear Blue, so Dani was left to her own devices. Taylor had suggested that she go for a swim in the back yard, or relax in the library with a new book, but considering doing either made her feel anxious. It was a Monday – she should be at work. Or she should at least be looking for a new job.

She busied herself for an hour by putting their dirty laundry from their trip in the washing machine and hand washed the delicate items. And after she cleaned up their breakfast mess in the kitchen, she walked around the huge house, trying to find something else she could do, but the house was spotless. She peeked her head into Taylor’s office and watched her edit videos and pictures from their trip for a few minutes.

The house’s floor plan included a living room and family room, but Taylor didn’t need both, so she used one of the large rooms for her office and studio for creating and editing her content. She had a huge L-shaped desk topped with three long flat-screen monitors, a seating area for her to do vlogs or live-chats with her followers, and a staging area with backdrops and plants and other props for photoshoots or videos. There were lights and cameras on tripods, as well as a weird mechanical contraption bolted to the ceiling that could hold a mounted camera and rotate 360 degrees around a subject.

She sprinted upstairs to the guest bedroom that would soon be transformed into her art studio. After she put her tabletop easel together, she dug through the boxes and bags they had packed, then cursed.

“Shit. I didn’t bring my drop-cloths.”

While mentally debating whether to make the thirty-minute round trip to her apartment for the drop-cloths, and if she should plan to pack more stuff if she did, her eyes drifted over the bed. She pulled the blankets down and eyed the ivory sheets with her bottom lip between her teeth. Taylor was donating the bed, and it was only a double, so the sheets wouldn’t fit their queen.

Decision made, she stripped the bed and used the fitted and flat sheets to protect the floor and the dresser from her paints. After setting her easel on the center of the hip-high dresser, she mounted a two-foot-by-four-foot canvas on its base. She bit her lip, tilted her head, then turned the canvas to stand tall, rather than wide.

She dumped her bucket of acrylic paint tubes out onto the floor, lined them up in a rainbow, then plucked an assortment of blues, reds, oranges, white, yellow, purples, and greens. She organized them
