- She elbowed him for the comment, and she shook her head as Trie gasped at his crudeness. “Terrie, Merl made his decisions and I have moved on.”
- “This isn’t over,” Trent glared at him. “You can’t take my son’s wife.”
- “I don’t want your son’s wife, By all accounts she’s a homewrecking whore, I will however have immeasurable fun with this beautiful woman on my arm, who is not his wife.”
- As Janka almost jumped up and down clapping, Liest decided to end this as they were really drawing a crowd as more people arrived, “Enough. I’m done with this conversation.”
- “You are better than this riffraff,” Trent spat.
- “I deserve better than to be cheated on by my husband and my sister. I deserve far more respect than this display from you both. This riffraff, as you called him, has never been anything but respectful in every conversation we’ve had. I think I’ll take my chances here.” She stayed firmly planted next to Isaias.
- A small round of applause at her words made her flush and remember they were very much being watched. “Now, there are several of my favorite people in the world in this room. I really do want to spend time with them to reconnect in a way I haven’t in. years. I want to talk about my art and how proud I am of it. I want to celebrate being liberated from the confines of a marriage in which I was nothing more than a decoration. You are welcome to stay but I would prefer you left.”
- With that she turned on her heel and made her way to the outstretched hand of Janka. Janka clapped her hands and waved for the champagne to be passed around.
- “Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the short delay and interruption into the beginning of tonight’s showcasing. My good friend and favorite employee, Liesl, has created yet another wondrous collection of her incredible talent. This set she has put out this evening for us, is a deep dive into heartache, grief, pain, loneliness, but also love healing, restitution, and resolve. It is cathartic and brilliant and,” she paused dramatically, “also all up for sale.” A twitter of laughter erupted around the room. “Get your checkbooks out, my friends. Liesl is happy to discuss the art with you and I am happy to discuss pricing. Grab a glass of wine and mingle!”
- Liesl watched with narrowed eyes as Terrie and Trent exited the venue and turned her attention to the man who was approaching her again.
- He chuckled, “if looks could kill, I would think I would be dead.”
- She nudged her chin towards the painting in the center, “I used my own blood for that one. I might be inclined to use yours on the next one. I’m not a damsel in distress who needs saving.”
- “Oh, I didn’t do that for you.”
- “No”
- “I hate Trent McGrath with a burning passion. I simply wanted, as my mother would say, to get his goat. I love it when he squirms. It makes my dick hard.”
- She did not need to be thinking of his dick when she was trying to be angry. She blinked her eyes at him. “Seriously?”
- “Yes. Did you want to touch to find out?”
- She smacked his chest trying not to laugh, “you’re awful.”
- “And you are gorgeous. Come. Show me your etchings.” He made wide playful eyes at her and extended his hand. “I do really

- She shook her head and stared into his deep brown eyes which despite the dark shade were light and happy. “Terrible.”
- “We can be terrible together. By the way, the information in the acquisition I made last weekend was” he kissed his fingers into the air, “magnifique. I could easily be bribed to attend any of your shows for such things. I’ll even pose for you. Nude of course,”
- “Oh my gosh,” his commentary was making her blush but as she laughed loudly for the first time in weeks, truly joyously expelling air from deep in her belly, it was also cleansing. Ilis wicked sense of humor was lightening her soul. He was, she considered, exactly what she needed at this moment.
