I slowly descended the stairs, concentrating on breathing as I went. I felt overwhelmed, anxious and scared all rolled into one. I knew I was where I wanted to be; I just had no idea how I was going to do this. They had a plan, and I just needed to follow it. I focused on inhaling and exhaling, calming myself as I walked through each room, towards the kitchen, taking it all in again. The grandeur of this house, alone, was enough to make my head spin.
I was keenly aware that once I stepped into that kitchen with them that our journey together was truly going to begin. We were alone here, just the three of us, away from the world, with no one to pass judgment on us. Whatever happened here would be ours, and no one would have to know about it. …show more content…
“Yes, it’s like having a chef and a clown. He cooks and entertains.” David said trying to appear serious.
“Maybe we should mass market him and make a million bucks with a professional clown chef business.” I facetiously said.
“Maybe I should find better dinner companions? I could do that.” Charlie interjected pretending to be mad. I wondered if he had any idea how utterly adorable he was.
“You don’t know anyone else here.” I playfully replied.
“Okay, I’ll give you that; I don’t know anyone else here. I’ll put it on my agenda for tomorrow. I’ll get up first thing in the morning and go in search of nicer friends.”
I laughed at Charlie and reverted the subject back to where we were before, asking him, “You were close to your grandmother?”

I leaned back in my chair trying to find the words to express what I thought about it.
"I felt like I wished I were there at that moment, in that time and place. I wondered about the man and the woman. I assumed they were married and was wondering about where they were going to or coming from. I admired how the rain didn’t stop them from going about their plans and that they both looked comfortable together. They 're both looking off at something not seen in the painting. It makes you wonder what they 're looking at. Besides that, it 's gigantic, way bigger than the average painting. The three of us could fit inside it, it’s so large.”
Charlie nodded at me and said, “Yeah, it’s huge. I think it’s cool. I love art, and like I said to you before, that’s what it’s there for. When an artist paints something they do it in the hopes that it invokes feelings in the people who, look at their work. Just think this man painted this in the 1800’s and here you are hundreds of years later admiring his work and being moved by it."
I liked the thought of that and asked, "Do you draw or
