But for now, it was best to go. She kept her shoulders high, smiled and made her way out the door.
The valet hadn’t even moved her car yet. Perfect. She slipped him her last five euros and took her keys back.
No one noticed her as she drove off, and headed home.
Her parents would be at her sister’s for hours. There was time and for the last time Chelsea needed to do something for herself. She needed to never forget Cristian’s coo or the emptiness her friends made her feel. Tonight she’d find a way to express that in a painting no one would ever see.
Perhaps then she’d find a way to let whatever bothered her go. Life wasn’t supposed to be boring. At least not hers.
As she found her way to her hidden studio in the wrecked part of the house no one fixed up, she prayed that the emptiness wasn’t part of her soul forever. She wasn’t sure how to survive if she was truly one of the lost that she was about to paint.
