“Hey, Valentina.Is this a good time?”
“Not really,” she said.“David, this is Sam.Sam, this is David.
“David?”Now it was my turn to look confused.“I thought he was Connor.”
“I don’t even know who Connor is,” Valentina snapped.“Sam, David is an artist friend of mine.I commissioned him to make a painting for you.”
“You what?”And that was when I noticed that David had something in his hand.

“What is this?”
“David’s an artist.A really talented one.And I knew you were feeling down, and I know your brothers are everything to you, so I commissioned him to do a painting.I wanted to gift it to you because I wanted you to have something special.I feel like you do so much for your family and everyone else, yet no one does anything special for you.So I wanted to be the one who did.”She pressed her lips together.“It’s beautiful, David.Thank you.I hope you like it, Sam.”

“Valentina, wait.I—”
“No,” she said, one solitary tear falling down her cheek.“I don’t want to hear it.I’m done.”
