As He Bids
“The train ride takes forever, but I'm in no hurry. It's not as if I have somewhere special to be for the next two months. No one's expecting me. My parents are away in Europe for the summer. I have their house all to myself.
Back home, I hang out in the kitchen, in front of the television with a pint of ice cream. I eat the entire thing straight from the box. There's no beating chocolate ice cream as comfort food.
I try to fool myself that it's just my hurting pride, but I know it's more than t...hat. I'm nursing a broken... something. I was in total lust with the man. Before I even met him for real on Monday, I was in absolute awe of him. He's a legend in the art world, and I'm not easily impressed because I was raised by two legends.
My mother studied in Paris at l'Ecole Boulle, and for as long as I can remember, she's been traveling throughout the world to restore museum-quality pieces. Thirty years ago, she met my father in the Louvre, where he was doing research for his PhD on Old Masters before becoming one of the most acclaimed art dealers in the world.MoreLess
