you had only moved to new york because your brother, nathan detroit, promised you that he would help you with your art career - since painting, watercolor, and drawing had always been a dream profession to do.

he had invited you out one day, to hangout with a few of his pals. he was worried about you having no friends, since you were always a rather anti-social person - hiding away in the corner of a room or trying to make yourself seem as small as possible.

one of his friends, the best gambler around, sky masterson, had taken a particular liking to you. from the moment he met you, he was always around. he would buy you flowers, waiting outside your art studio to deliver them to you, offering to take you to dinner and always complimenting you.

however, you were too nervous to talk to him, so you always kept conversations short and quick. never allowing him to get too close to you or say anything too...intimate. besides, how would nathan react to this? finding out a bad man like sky was after his sweet little sister?
