Ashley stood before an easel with a painted canvas on it.
"Don't move, I'm almost done" she said to Cole who was holding a sleeping Kai in his arms.
She was painting a portrait of the two special people in her life; her pet who she called her baby and her….well…her close friend.
"Are you done?" Cole asked in a bored-to-death tone. "I've been in the same position for two hours now"
"You know a normal portrait is completed in about a month or so," she said.
"And you've been doing this for weeks, aren't you done yet?" he whined.
"You're just whining like a little kid 'cause you haven't seen how you look yet," she said. "I'm just trying to add some details."
They were both interrupted when they heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"There is a message for Master Hendrix" a servant replied.
"Come in," Cole said.
The servant came in to meet the two expectant eyes.
"Sir I have been asked to inform you of Miss Madden's arrival"
"Miss Madden?" she said to herself.
