Later that night when Esther and Fiona had gotten all of her luggage out of the car and had eaten dinner, Esther and Fiona sat on the porch swing on the veranda, staring at the stars and enjoying each other’s company. “I’m so proud of you, Esther,” Fiona said breaking the comfortable silence.
Esther smiled. “Thank you. That really means a lot to hear you say that.”
“You’ve always been pretty talented with make-brushes. I can barely draw my eyebrows on right and there you go doing makeup on movie sets.”
“I’ve only done one film and it was by sheer luck that I landed that gig. A movie was filming in the area and one of the makeup artists got a terrible case of food poisoning and couldn’t fulfill their commitment. One of the actresses was a bridesmaid for a wedding I did the makeup for and she remembered me.”
“That’s still pretty amazing. The fact that the client recommended you says that you do good work. They could have called anyone to fill the spot, I’m sure.”
Esther grinned. “I think it had more to do with the fact that they were on a tight budget and they needed someone cheap and who was available on short notice. That person happened to be me.”
“Don’t sell yourself short, kiddo. If you didn’t do good work, they wouldn’t have hired you.”
“Oh, I know my work is good and I’m learning new techniques every day. I just don’t want to make the story more exciting than it actually was.”
“Regardless, that’s still amazing. What are you working on next?”
“I’ll be working for a local production company. They mainly film commercials and small television projects. In the meantime, I’m still doing the legwork to get my makeup line up and running. It’s a lot more work than I anticipated but I’m up for the challenge.”
“What does it all entail?”
“Market research, working with chemists to develop products that work for different skin types and finding investors to name a few things. With the popularity of subscription boxes, I’m leaning toward that route to help grow my business.”
“Wow,” Fiona smiled, the pride shining in her eyes. “You’ve come a long way, dear.”
“I have. I could have never imagined me here, three years ago. Thank you for being there for me.”
Fiona placed her hand on Esther’s knee. “You’re like the daughter I never had. You know, I see a lot of myself in you. My first husband Tommy was a lousy piece of shit as well. I’d barely graduated high school when he came along with his leather jacket and motorcycle. I came from a traditional family where my mom made sure dinner was on the table at a certain time and all of us kids minded our manners and went to church every Sunday. She devoted her life to her husband and children and didn’t have much of a life for herself. I didn’t want to be her so when Tommy came along, he represented freedom to me. He swept me off my feet and then he knocked me up.
