Sometimes I pull back at my life to wonder if this is truly what I want to do. I get this feeling when I exit this meeting. It made me question my capacity to find great art. Of course, art is subjective, but there are three collections I’m bringing to Carvel that two connoisseurs turned investors just flipped their noses up at.

One of the artists they snared at was Panter Duke. I think he’s a fucking genius, and the only reason I imagine the investors don’t like him is because he speaks up for the oppressed. If you take one look at this man’s detailed works and try to deny its beauty, you are a fucking liar, period.

Micola understands.

She has one honest eye I downright trust when it comes to art. She’s broadened how I critique art as she looks at every corner, every detail, until she can hear the pulse of the artist within their work. She’s great with this stuff, and too bad she isn’t an investor.

The other two artists the two investors were snaring their noses up at are European. One from Belarus and another from Germany. According to them, they weren’t ¨cutting edge¨ enough in their words. I think both of these artists are marvelous at displaying the classic sophistication of sculptures. Anyhow, the end result is that those particular art investors pulled a pinch of the money they said they were donating after reviewing the video of each exhibition room of Carvel.

Leaving the meeting, I push open the restaurant’s side door, stepping into London’s night with a huge sigh. Benjamin’s parked a couple spots down. He gives me a honk as I lift my hand to acknowledge him. I want to go home and pour myself the largest glass of wine that I can. I don’t want beer as it’ll bloat me, and I don’t need any more spirits at the moment. I don’t want to wake up to a hangover. I probably should take a good run in the morning when I think about it. But, in all honesty, I’d like to spend one full night with Micola so fucking bad because I know she’s exceptionally capable of making me feel so damn good.

¨ How’s it going?¨ Benjamin asks.

I find it pretty amazing how well he’s been driving in these London streets. Didn’t take him long to adopt the driving expertise on this side of the world.

¨ Can’t lie. I could be a lot better.¨

I look out the window. It’s fairly busy on this side of London for a Thursday night. And by the looks of things, it amazes me how often I can spot people I know outside the window.

¨Bloody Wanker.¨ I curse under my breath like the best of the Brits as I watch Simon Bell nearly jog across the street.

Micola enjoyed hookah with this man a few days ago. She told me he came onto her and even asked her if we were in an open relationship to try and get at her.
