The week had gone by in a flash with all the things that had taken place at work. Between finalizing the new investors contract and the countless meetings, both in person and virtual, had taken a lot

out of me.

I hadn’t seen much of Adam for the week but I knew that he was busy with his own business that brought him along with me to New York to begin with. All I wanted to do this weekend was relax and unwind at home. Perhaps test out the pool with Hayley and just have some mother–daughter fun before the week kicked off again.

But I was not that lucky.

When Friday had approached, I left the office earlier than usual because Hayley wanted to check out an art store that she had heard of just down the road from the main Street. I was happy to oblige and she was ready when I got home. Nancy helped strap her in the seat and we were off beneath the still bright later afternoon sky.

“I love this store, mama!” Hayley exclaimed receiving a few glances from passerbys that didn’t mind but instead smiled at her innocent enthusiasm.

“I knew you would. Pick a few things that you like. I encouraged her, walking behind her as she looked at all the flashy, artsy things on display.

Hayley looked at it for a moment before giving her head a small nod more to herself than me. “Can I have this one?” She asked fluttering her eyes at me.

“Of course, you can. You will need paint for it.” This lead us to the pain aisle where she carefully chose the colours she needed for the idea she had in mind.
