“Heather? How… How long have you been standing there?" Levi questioned as he hung up his phone and walked up to her with wide eyes.
She narrowed her eyes suspiciously on him.
“I just came. Why are you acting so weird?" He heaved a sigh of relief then smiled at her.
“It's nothing. I was just talking to my brother and I said something embarrassing and was hoping you didn't hear that" He mentally gave himself a handshake for being able to think of a lie that fast and by the looks of it, Heather believed him.
“Oh I didn't hear anything. I was busy staring at the beautiful painting down the hall. I feel like it has a story behind it, right?" He furrowed his eyebrows.
“Show me?" She nodded and they walked out of the room and towards a huge painting plastered on the wall. It was kind of hard to miss and Levi understood how this painting was able to catch her whole attention.
“Oh this, it was painted by my mother. She poured her whole soul, pain and happiness into it… well according to my Father. I guess it takes a creative eye to really know what this painting is about" He muttered as a sad smile appeared on his face.
“I guess that means your mother's dead?" Heather questioned as she turned to him and he nodded.
“She died when I was three so I have no memory of her but my father made sure I never forgot she existed" There was something with the way he said that that made her frown.
“She was an artist?" Levi nodded.
“Apparently she met my father at an art gallery and he had been staring at one of her paintings and they instantly clicked. Sadly after she died, my father got rid of all her paintings but my grandfather saved this one. He said it had too much meaning to be thrown away and I guess he was right" Heather nodded slowly then turned to the painting.
“Kiara would die If she saw this. She loved art so much and could probably decipher what this painting was trying to say. When she gets back, she has to see this" Levi smiled.
“She likes art? I don't know why I never saw her as an artsy kind of lady"
“It's because of her love for art that she decided to take up Interior designing. It was a form of art to her" He nodded slowly.
“Thank you, Heather" She turned to him with a raised eyebrow.
“Why are you thanking me?" He turned to her with a smile.
“Because I know exactly what to do on my first date with Kiara now"

After their conversation, Zane and Kiara both decided that they were going to try and forget about the past for now and just enjoy their Vacation. Whatever happens in the future, happens.
“Do you still want to go back to the penthouse?" Zane questioned as he caressed her cheek.
“You wanted to take me somewhere?" Zane nodded.
“I know a certain person who has always been obsessed with art and castles so…"
