After leaving the coffee shop, Luna went to the fresh market for grocery shopping.
Anne was not good at cooking, so since they lived together, naturally Luna was the one in charge of grocery shopping and cooking.
Holding the groceries in hand, Luna stood at the door. She reached for her keys when she heard Anne’s shy voice drifting in from inside the house.
“Luna is coming home soon, John, don’t…“
“In a way, she’s almost like our cupid, she won’t mind…“
“She’s in a bad mood recently, things have been rough for her, we shouldn’t irritate her.“
“Then we should make it fast, before she comes back Luna frowned.
Bad timing.
Placing the groceries at the entrance, she huffed out a long breath and turned and left.
The sky darkened, and Banyan City was lit up in an array of bright neon lights.
Luna wandered alone on the streets for a long, long time.
Unconsciously, she walked to the entrance of an art gallery.
She took a glance at the display board at the entrance: Renowned Artist Theo Allen’s Art Exhibition: Banyan City Stop.
Theo Allen was an artist she admired when she was still a student.
Once, a childish Luna scribbled in her diary: Life- long bucket list: attend Theo Allen’s art exhibition at least once.
Many years had passed since, now after all that she went through, standing here and looking at his art exhibition again, strangely she felt nothing.
But she still bought a ticket and went in. After, this was once her dream.
There were not many people in the exhibition hall.
Walking along the corridor, she looked at the various pieces of art that accompanied her through her teenage years, memories of herself when she was young and frivolous appearing before her eyes.
She laughed self-deprecatingly.
“Joshua, thank you, I’m very glad to have the chance to attend Theo Allen’s art exhibition.“
“I’m happy I could help you fulfill your wish.“
