She chuckles as she picks up her pencil. “Okay...”

I watch as she turns a new page in her sketchbook and puts her pencil to paper. Her unblinking eyes hop between the page and my hand as she nervously begins sketching a rough outline. Five fingers. Knuckles. Little veins.

As the drawing takes shape, I see that she’s right.

She really can’t draw hands.

“What?” she asks, glaring at my expression.

I realize I’m smirking. “Nothing.”

“It sucks, I know.”

“No!” I say. “There’s potential to be found.”

“With practice?” she adds.

“Exactly.”

Heidi laughs it off as she sets the pencil down.

“Heidi!”

I shift away as Jenna drops to her knees between us, panicked and out of breath.

“What?” Heidi asks, concerned. “Are you okay?”

“I just realized...” She hops on her knees, excited. “We can do my number two!”

I furrow my brow, amused. “Your what now?”

Jenna shakes Heidi’s arm. “My number two!”

“Number two?” Heidi repeats, then gasps in realization. “Jenna, no.”

“Yes.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“No!”

“Yes!”

I laugh. “Number two?”

“On my vision board!” Jenna says.

“Your vision board!” I grin at Heidi as she cringes some more. “You have a vision board?”

“Yup!”

“What’s number two on your vision board, Jenna?” I ask, purposefully teasing.

“Skinny dipping in Lake Michigan,” she answers, still tugging on Heidi’s arm.

I pique with great interest. “Really?”
