Jessica was staying at the JW Marriot in Washington, DC, for Christmas. Drake and Jessica had agreed to share Debbie for Christmas. She had gone over to Drake’s new townhouse that he shared with his fiancée to attend their Christmas Eve party. There had been a few raised eyebrows when she entered the room, but one thing Drake and Jessica were experts at was rising to the occasion, especially where Debbie was concerned. The awkward stares from the party guests had subsided and everyone had enjoyed the festivities.
Christmas morning had gone well, too. Drake had bought Debbie a pair of diamond earrings. They weren’t big, but Jessica still thought it was too extravagant for a thirteen-year-old girl.

We’ll put up your awards, certificates, and pictures. Your piano will be here, too. I was thinking we could put it next to the window in the living room.

Jessica and her mother entered the kitchen through the back door. No one was in there. Jessica’s eyes widened. “Where’s Debbie?” “Maybe Andrea took her back downstairs to the storeroom to give her some chocolate. That girl can’t resist giving children chocolate.” Jessica nodded. They went downstairs to the storeroom. No sign of Andrea or Debbie. “Oh my god,” Jessica said with panic. “Don’t get excited. Andrea is very responsible.

It was New Year’s Eve, and Jessica was filled with hope for a promising and prosperous New Year. The Biannual Ladybirds’ Art Show was being held in the Lennox Tower in Manhattan. The view was fantastic. Fireworks could be seen from the floor they were on. The room was huge. The temporary walls that had paintings and photographs on them were set up like a maze.

Desmond, the art coordinator, was happily informing Jessica that three of her photographs had sold. Jessica was happy and relieved at the same time. She knew Mrs. Grayson-Hanson had bought the West Virginia photograph. “Jessica, I heard through the grapevine that you were a painter as well,” Desmond said. “That’s correct.” “I own an art gallery.

Today, he wore pressed brown slacks and a white dress shirt with a brown scarf. He immediately went to the wall-sized canvas painting she was working on.

The female silhouette was straddled over the man’s lap.He examined it on the large easel. “This is very erotic,” he commented. “I like how you used the light and shadows of the background.”“Thank you.
