Emily

Tonight has been unforgettable. Me, at a casino in Monte Carlo, mingling with royalty, socialites, politicians, and the art society elite is something I never thought would be a reality for me.

At first, Louis was very apprehensive, but as the night wore on and there was no sign of Yves and Elisabeth, he eventually relaxed. Seeing him in his element, charming everyone, dealing with some handsy women who wanted to ‘talk’ to him was amazing. I took photographs of the event and loaded them online, and I wrote about raising money for art therapy programs. Adding links to the various societies’ information, I can hopefully bring some more awareness to the cause from people who can’t afford the one-thousand-euro ticket.

“Now, Louis… is this your girlfriend?” an older gentleman asks.

“She’s way too smart to date me. Emily is helping me prepare for my next exhibition in New York at the end of the summer.”

The older couple nod in my direction.

“Do you paint, my dear?” the older man asks.

“I dare not call myself an artist, but I paint to relax.”

The older man chuckles. “Yes. I’m the same. We all can’t be made for greatness like this man here.” The older man pats Louis on the back in some sort of man-slapping thing that they do.

“Emily tells me I’m her favorite artist, and I guess she should know, she has an art history degree.” I raise an eyebrow at Louis as he teases me again over my confession. The older couple laughs at Louis’ joke, then utter their well wishes and move on to someone else.

“Would you stop telling everyone I’m your biggest fan. They’ll think I’m some art groupie.”

“Aw… come on, Emily. I know you have a poster of me up on your wall at home.” He gives me a wink.

“Yes, I throw darts at it. Often. I’m a pretty good shot now.”

Louis smiles, then his eyes look over my shoulder, and he stills. His face turns pale immediately. I spin to see what’s spooked him and notice that Yves and Elisabeth have arrived, and Louis can’t take his eyes off of them.

“Sunflowers?” I use the safe word, but he’s lost somewhere in his mind—he’s not paying any attention to me anymore. There’s a soft murmur amongst the crowd as people realize what’s happening.

Elisabeth is dressed in a stunning off-the-shoulder red evening dress with a slit that ends at her hip exposing her long, toned, tanned legs. She looks like a goddess. It’s no wonder Louis is still so hung up on her.

Yves is a lot younger than her, but he’s equally as good-looking dressed in a tuxedo, his face is unshaven, and tattoos are peeking out of the luxury material. A gold earring sits in one ear, his face is hard as he dismisses a waiter who approaches him. You can see why they call him the bad boy of the art world, he’s got that look about him.

Then, I see the moment that Elisabeth notices Louis, the hitch in her body posture gives it away—she’s still affected by him.
