<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red">  Ana had arrived right on time to work, Nira sat at a desk doing paperwork her dark hair covering her face from the side. And was feeling michivious and tried to sneak up on her, but Nira just held up her hand letting her know <span style="font-style: italic">"Yes, I know your there. Nice try"</span> Ana just shrugged. Nira finally peered over at her friend giving her a look, "So how were things with tall dark and mysterious?" she asked a smile on her lips. Ana's cheeks flushed a shade of pink as Ithos sleeping face entered her mind. Nira's face became excited "I knew it! tell me everything!" Nira said excitedly. Ana slightly froze in place as the shade painted aher cheeks gently. using light steps she sat at her desk her long black skirt dancing around her ankles. "Is it warm in here?" she asked trying to avoid the questions all together her hand pulling gently at her white blouse. Nira gave her a stern look, Ana shifted slightly in her seat. "Nothing really happened he stayed the night we talked, end of story" she said fluffing some papers around on her desk. Nira's expression said she didn't believe her but this was Ana's choice to keep it to herself there was nothing Nira could do to change it.<br/><br/>Ana felt bad for not being able to tell her friend about everything but she was pretty sure she liked her life the way it was. And Ana did not want to be the reason to take that from her. So as the hours went on she went through the gallery's paperwork. Soon it was filed away and Ana was greeted by some interested buyers who had called earlier in the day. Ana walked with grace and delicate movements as she talked about the piece that they had there eye on. Being there area was small this one piece was rare and was also in great condition. Ana explained all the origins and procedures if any that had been preformed on the piece. Soon they they thanked her and went to look around on there own. Ana stood by the painting it was of a mermaid and her child. It always touched her even though she knew that real mermaids did not look this. She still saw the beautiful work in it. Her back to the doors she looked at it with such a soft glow on her face.</span></div>
