Chapter 5

Cate wobbled on her high-for-her-heels as she made her way down the walk to the gallery where her daughter was, in theory, waiting. After the night before, she half-worried it was another set-up. Worried. Hoped. Whichever.

Armed with a stick drive of pictures she’d taken of her work and her best little black dress, Cate was ready for this. Or so she told herself numerous times during the short walk from her car. Why she had ever decided any type of heel was a good idea was beyond her, but it was too late now. In for a penny…

The gallery sat in her favorite part of the city. The energy of the unique businesses, cafes, and galleries bounced through the streets, and the hustle and bustle of the city seemed to slow down there so people could enjoy the true pleasures of life. Art. Music. Theater. It was an odd dynamic, and one that, if she were a city gal, she would have been completely enthralled by.

The gallery welcomed her, its door propped open and gentle music flowing out into the street. A few steps in and she was awed by a photo of a brick. Somehow the photographer captured something in that shot that drew her in. A brick, of all things. Art never ceased to amaze her.

“Welcome,” a short woman with glasses and a welcoming smile greeted her, hand extended. “You must be Cate. I’ve heard so much about you.”

“I’m not sure how to even respond to that.” Cate gave her hand a quick shake, trying to pull herself together and out of the nerve-induced meltdown she had begun to slip into. “Is Jamie here?”

“She was, but I sent her on a quick errand.” The warm smile she greeted Cate with never wavered. “She’ll be back before the official start.”

“Oh, sorry.” Leave it to her to show up too early on what could be a life-changing night. “I’ll come back later. I must have the time wrong…”

“Susan. Amelia’s wife.”

Cate’s eyes popped up to meet Susan’s. For some reason, she hadn’t put two and two together. In her mind, Susan had been this tall, glamorous woman who stole both men and women’s breath away with her sheer beauty and unapproachableness. She had no idea where that version of the woman before her came from, but it was so wrong in the very best of ways. Susan was much more approachable in her true life version than anything Cate had dreamed up. Suddenly, her nerves vanquished. She had this.

“Your timing is perfect. Jamie said you were a brilliant artist and I simply must show your work.” That sounded like her daughter all right.

“She may be a bit biased.”

“Truth, but she has a great eye.” In that, Susan wasn’t wrong. Jamie had never taken up creating art in the same fashion her mother had, but she always saw the art around her, even where it was unintentional. “I keep trying to snag her from all that computer mumbo jumbo, but you know kids with all their practical dreams of actual careers.
