Chapter Seven

Bianca

It’s been about a month, Ford and I have fallen into an easy routine, one that I welcome since Grans’ passing. When she died, I didn’t know which way to go, where to turn. My painting seemed so irrelevant. Without her, everything was useless. That is until I realized that my dreams are what is going to save this place.

“Hey, B! Can you come here for a minute?” he hollers from the front.

Grabbing a couple glasses of lemonade, I head out to him. “What’s up?” I ask, handing him a drink.

“Thank you.” He takes a sip. “Mmm, that’s good.”

“There’s more in there if you or the crew get thirsty.”

“I sent them home for the day. I thought maybe you would like to get in on this action.” He hands me a sledge hammer.

“I think your version of action and mine are a tad different.” I hand it back to him.

“Although I like where you are going with this, I’m thinking that this will be right up your alley as well.” He walks over to a table. I follow. “Take a look at these.”

I look between the blueprints and the walls, trying to figure out which end is up.

“Let me help.” He points to one of the lines. “This is the kitchen wall and we are going to bust it out.”

“No we are not,” I argue. “That is the only functioning kitchen in the whole building. There is no way I’m going to open it to the front of the gallery for everyone to see.” I whisper, “Don’t you remember what we did in there the other day?”

“Babe, there is no way I’ll ever forget that moment, or any other with you, for that matter.” He pulls me in for a quick kiss. “But—”

“No buts. Maybe the open area will work for your club, but my gallery…I don’t think so.” I shake my head, a tad irritated that he is only thinking of himself and his club.

“Come on, B. Try to envision this with me.” He takes another set of blueprints and rolls them out. “See how open it is? Eventually you can change the island and make it a bar…a few tables here and there.”

“What is this?” I’m pretty sure it’s the blueprints for my gallery. But why?

“I wanted to make sure that whatever renovations I made for me were also beneficial for you. So, that is where the whole dual prints thing comes into play.”

“You thought of me…” I back away, a little overwhelmed at his suggestions.

“B, I just wanted to make sure—”

“Why do this?” I say, a little louder than necessary.

“For you.” He wraps me in his arms. “Is it not what you wanted?” He leans back a little, searching my eyes.

“It is…I just didn’t think...” A few tears begin to fall. He doesn’t get it. Every single penny I earn has to go to the bank. Even if I can come up with the funds, I won’t be able to survive unless I have constant action. Which is why I want the gallery so bad.
