Cai quan!

He said we probably won't last.

There was this girl at the studio before who did a really really nice painting of flowers, abstract. It was a wonderful combination of colours - purple, white. Splashes of bold black lines and yellow. It was beautiful and I loved it. The beautiful amazing mix of oil and turpentine and paint.

But there was an imbalance of oil and turpentine. Something like - too must oil in the base-coat of the painting. After some time, it started craking and peeling and just, falling apart. The beautiful masterpiece was destroyed and gone. I recall Cynthia saying that she either couldn't fix it, or that it would be too difficult. And probably not worth the time.

And so it is, just like you said it would be.
