Dilemma- 100 words

This took a bit of editing to get to the exact 100 words.....wrote it this afternoon...though must confess, the ginger tea (adrak chai) with it's super awesome flavour helped me to complete it ......

Carelessly flicking away the hair strands covering the forehead, she tried to decipher the painting….This was her 1st time at the gallery and she wanted to impress the painter. She met Arka when he was home to discuss the exhibition sponsorship with her dad. She then thought….her dream of learning to paint could soon materialise. Her dad had never encouraged painting…..

But how would she impress him?? What should she say to make him think she’s into the art…. ‘Hey! Thanks for coming. I kinda hoped you would.’ he grinned….Sometimes you don’t need a plan….it’s all done for you ......
