"Wow."

That one word, breathed with such awe and reverence, did more to gratify me and cement my positive feelings about this space than anything else over the last few months of watching it come together. It made me that much more confident about this place opening in just a few weeks.

I watched as Jemma stepped into the large open space after I'd unlocked the door of the Marie Anders Center for us. The sexy, strappy stilettos she wore accentuated her long legs as she turned, her gaze darting around the room to take it all in. This space where we were standing now would be the gallery, big and open, the first thing people saw when they walked in. The studios and classrooms were toward the back, and would be nice spaces too once they were done.

But this was the showpiece.

Floor to ceiling glass windows that extended from one end of the building to the other, specially treated so that the rays from the sun wouldn't damage any of the artwork. That would be the space for everything, room to show off work from the students and other local artists alike, to help them get the visibility they deserved.

I wanted a space that would really add to and enhance, that would invest in the community of Blackwood. The same way that the scholarships my parents founded had helped many art majors attend BSU. Those scholarships would go on through endowments, funded by investments they made before they died. Their gift would live on for years, and I would make sure that I picked up that banner before I died as well.

This was something else though.

This was something that the whole community could see and be a part of, something that wasn't exclusive to the students at BSU.

I just wanted to be as valuable as they were, give back as much as they did.

Based on Jemma's reaction, I was well on my way.

"Levi, this is amazing," she gushed. "When you mentioned a gallery space, of course I thought it was cool. But I don't I think I imagined this. This is huge. And it'll be open to the whole community, right?"

"Yeah," I nodded.

"I'm thinking about the jobs you're creating with this. The kids who wouldn't otherwise have an outlet that will be able to come here and express themselves through something positive."

"Yes," I smiled. "All that."

Jemma turned to me with a grin. "You're being super low key about this, like it's nothing."

"Nah," I shook my head. "Not at all. It's…everything. I'm just taking in your reaction. Letting it all marinate and sink in."

"Okay," she nodded. "Well, come on. This is all empty right now, but there must be something else in here to look at, right? Show me everything, take me on a tour. That's what got me here, after all."

That was true.

After dinner, I certainly hadn't been ready to let her go, but I was trying not to end up back in her hotel room either. Not because I didn't want her - it wasn't that at all.
