Austin could see the moments of indecision flickering across Claudia’s face.
“Just how much of align do you think that we're going to do and how soon of an event do you think we can be ready for?” Claudia asked in disbelief.
“Let's keep our spirits up. besides if you don't have a full line to be released as of yet I can draw out whatever it is that you think you will create, and we can do virtual shows of those. Sasha and I will be here to help”
“Virtual shows?” Claudia echoed.
“Sasha isn’t leaving right away, and we will be here to help you, Claudia. I won’t let you sink,” Austin promised.
“You promise?”
“Yes, I promise to not let you go.”
He saw Claudia look at his hand and hers and then back at him.
“I’m trust you to keep that promise, Austin. Now let me here your complete crazy plan., “Claudia said.
“I don't think the plan is crazy. it just means that we will all be pitching in for a little while. the first thing we want to do is figure out our workflow. When you aren't creating items, I think it's going to be a good idea to look at how all of those fit together for the shows. The other thing that I think we never really took the time to do but there are other in the town who would like to put their items with us on consignment. Last thing that we want to do is branch out into nearby towns to let people know what we have and what we're offering. By getting out into those towns first we can spread our idea about small town fashions.”
Austin waited for Claudia to balk at the idea. He figured that it was still a good sign when her face paled but she didn’t’ run out of the building.
“You know it was like you were talking a different language just now right?”
Austin smiled at her and gave Sasha a quick glance who was also smiling.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ve seen you talking about your creations and your whole face lights up and every one can tell you genuinely love what you are doing and talking about.”
Sasha laid a hand on Claudia’s shoulder and Claudi turned to the woman.
“I know it sound like a big jump but it’s going to be great,” Sasha said. “The words coming out of his mouth may seem like they are crazy, but I want you to know he’s not making it up. This has been done tons of times in different places and it works. I’ve been around the block a time or two so I’ll be able to guide us both and help everyone not to fall into the pitfall.”
“I’m going to be counting on you so much,” Claudia said to Sasha. “Don’t loose patience with me before I get it,” she begged.
Sasha shook her head and pulled her into an embrace.
“Don’t worry us gals are going to stick together and get it done. I know if my sisters come they are going to love you as well.”
When Claudia came out of the hug Austin couldn't help but ask.
“What am I chopped liver. you know I'm going to be here to support you as well,” Austin throughout there.
Claudia turned to him and put her hand on her hip giving him a saucy look.
“I don't want you to take this the wrong way Austin, but I don't think that you're going to be as much help as you may think.”
Austin put his hand to his chest as if he had been hit.
“You wound me lady. I admit I don't have all of the chops that Sasha here has but I might have done this a time or two.”
Austin could tell his words were having no effect on Claudia. he wasn't sure if he should be insulted or not.
“All I'm saying Austin is that I don't think you have any experience doing this as a woman.” Claudia turned to Sasha and took her hands in hers as if it were a lifetime.
“I want to thank you Sasha for taking the time with me. I know that there is so much you could be doing, and I am grateful for any advice that you could give. Lead the way and I’ll be following right behind you.”
Sasha smiled back.
“The first thing we want to do is get settled and take inventory of what you have in that store across the way. I think we need to set a date for the first show as well. I’m thinking three weeks is long enough.”
