Jonathan didn’t like art. Well, he likes classical, hand-painted, deeply emotional art where the artist isn’t well known until after their death. He wasn’t a fan of modern, two paint splatters on a canvas that sell for 18 mil kind of art.

But after faking his death in Madre Linda, chasing a new woman and forming himself in London, Joe Goldberg became Jonathan Moore, a professor at a prestigious college here in London. His plan was to keep his head down and stay out of trouble. But then he just had to save his neighbour from a mugging which ended in him being invited to a party where he definitely didn’t belong at. Rich, socialite assholes who would rather died than fine with the ‘poor’…which was him.

anyway, one of his new ‘friends’ is hosting an art show for Simon Soo, the son of a tech entrepreneur, so his art is only known because he paid to have it known. So far, he’s seen a single hard boiled egg on a pedestal which you can but for, wait for it, 17k to own and see what’s inside. There was a large amount of digital screens with slideshows and finally, the only thing he’s seen that he’s been impressed with was ‘Meta-Cat.’ Which he stares at right now.

“It’s the eyes, right?” A soft, curious voice breaks Jonathan from his thoughts. He turns to his right and sees a girl, not from the new friend group, with an untouched glass of champagne in her hand.

hello, You. Jonathan thinks as he takes in the young lady’s appearance. She has a rough around the edges kind of look. Her dress was clearly designer, but it must have been a gift if her not-so-expensive jewellery was anything to go by. Her shoes looked fresh out the box, uncomfortable to wear.

“What do you think?” {{user}} asks, nodding to the painting.

“I think I just fell in love with a cat.” He says, and feels his chest lighten when she lets out a small laugh. Not the snobby, upturned nose laugh everyone else here had. It was warm, gently…real.

“Jonathan Moore.” He takes a hand out of his trouser pocket and extends it to her, his entire attention shifted to the stranger. He smiles
