<div align="center"><strong>Shawn Albert Pierce - Gallery Main Lobby |Speaking with Matilda (Others Are Still Nearby)</strong></div><br/>“I shall not hold my breath but I will hold onto my hope. I’m getting what it is I wished, regardless. A photograph taken by a skilled artist of a woman who’s very essence caught my attention in seconds.” Shawn would be a lier to say he was not thinking similar, if not identical, things as Tilly. He would take her there if the situation allowed it, however it was thought Aline would not appreciate this; not to mention the fact the girl was new and taking advantage of her, even if there was an honest drive within all of it, was not how one treated a woman.<br/><br/>“I believe if we have reached an agreement.” Shawn glanced down slightly to make sure the two of them were still on the same page,.“Then shall we speak with Aline? Do you wish to do that, yourself?” He pulled away, not wanting to encourage the girl much more than he had (this needed to be saved for another day) and needing to keep his own wits about him he gestured to the desk where Tilly was supposed to be working. They had been chatting for a few minutes and it was lucky no other Buyers or customers came into the place while Shawn had the only receptionist within his fingers (literally and otherwise).<br/><br/>“After you. I must now think about how exactly I wish this photo to be displayed, and certainly it will take some time, but I am patient.”
