Lucas gently held out his arm so that I could place mine around it. He then walked me over to the other side of the large hall. As we walked, I could feel Christian's fiery gaze on me.
"I can see some of the paintings up ahead. Shall we go take a closer look?" Lucas smiled at me, waiting for my answer.
"Yes! I heard some of tonight's paintings were donated by renowned artists. I'd like to see if I can recognize any of them."
Though my art skills were only so-so, I enjoyed art and even studied it a little.
We walked over to where the large glass display was and glanced at the many paintings inside.
"Looks like they're mostly landscapes and still life paintings. This one over here is exceptionally gorgeous," I said, pointing at a beautiful botanical landscape painting. It depicted an early morning scene where the sun was just rising over the horizon. The artist even included the morning dew on the flowers in the foreground.
