Chapter 10: Julie

Julie was still perplexed when she arrived at the client’s home. When she had checked the address Bonnie gave her with the court documents in Jack’s apartment, the addresses didn’t match. Sophie used an address at an upscale apartment high-rise to help justify the child support Jack had to pay. Julie wondered if her desire for the client to be Sophie had blinded her, and that all her careful preparation for the murals would come to nothing.

The address was certainly no apartment. As she pulled in, she thought the first building she saw was the house, but as she pulled around the long curving driveway she saw it was actually a four-car garage with some kind of guest house or office on the second floor. The house itself was a sprawling two-story mansion that seemed to be built around and between the ancient trees.

Bonnie’s black BMW was already parked in the circle drive near the front door, so Julie pulled her sad little Honda in behind it, wincing at the noise it made as she turned the steering wheel. The double front doors were at least eight feet tall and was made out of a deep green enameled metal. The doors alone probably cost more than she made in a year. One swung open as Bonnie came out with a smile, dressed in a soft, stylish sweat suit with a colorful scarf around her neck.

"I’ve got you all set up in the playroom. I’ve moved the furniture into the center of the room and put drop cloths down all around. This is going to be so much fun!"

Julie wasn’t so sure about that, but she smiled gamely. "Let’s get started then. I remembered this morning that I forgot to ask about the current color of the walls."

"Luckily the walls are already a neutral white-ish color, so we shouldn’t have to worry about preparing the surface with a primer. I was hoping after you get it sketched on the wall you’d allow me to help apply the base colors with you. I haven’t done more than manage my business for over a year and want to get my hands wet." She emphasized "hands wet" in a way that could be taken in more than one way. Julie tried not to grimace at the thought.

As she walked through the home, Julie simply couldn’t believe her eyes. It was less a home than a kind of stylized impression of a home you’d find in a modern art museum. The furniture didn’t look comfortable, but it made Julie feel like she was walking through a gallery. She couldn’t imagine children living in the house. The sculptures and decor appeared either sharp and dangerous, or as fragile as icicles. There were expensive carpets that had the sheen of silk, where no crayon or marker would ever be welcome.

As they went up the large curved staircase, Julie began to feel nauseous, but she didn’t want to say anything to Bonnie. Her left hand was pressing hard and low against her stomach, trying to settle the grumbling she felt.
