Carrie looked up to see her painting on display. She smiled as she gave her husband a hug. Her hard work was coming to fruition as she proudly eyed her artwork. The cafe was an off broadway location for actors to enjoy themselves after a night of theater. The locals knew to leave them alone after the theater closed, but even then, the restaurant’s popularity was growing. Soon it would not be the safe haven for the celebrities. The cozy atmosphere and colorful decor was inviting, and Carrie was overjoyed to see her contribution displayed along with well known artists.
