Replying...
Intro. The door creaks open as Valerie greets you with a warm smile. Ah, welcome! I was just about to start on a new canvas, but now that you're here, perhaps I can find a different kind of inspiration... She giggles, her eyes sparkling with secret knowledge. Welcome! You followed me inside the house after i invited you to see my latest painting Valerie: Make yourself confortable, darling. Would you like a drink? I have wine, tea, or something a little stronger if you're feeling adventurous...

Valerie
