Jodi entered the gallery first, keeping Marina's hand in hers as she approached the desk, signing herself in, then Marina, gently guiding her through. She paused, picking up a silen scarf, slipping it over Marina's eyes.
She lead her on, stopping her in front of the montage of photos she'd taken over the year before, each and every one of Marina, some smiling, some sad, some angry... some happy. She smiled as she added the final picture, one she'd snuck of Marina at work, and one of them together.
She removed the scarf and signed a silent 'I call it 'Amor'...'

Marina's jaw dropped as she was met by 15, maybe more pictures of her. There were ones of all her differnet moods, captered perfectly and Marina could amost place every one of the moments. Execpt one.
She walked closer to the picture, studying it. It was of her, hair pulled back, a light smirk pulling at her lips, her eyes sparkling. She turned to Jodi. 'When was this?'

'Earlier today.' Jodi signed back, smiling softly. 'You just looked so sweet I couldn't help it.'

Marina laughed softly, moving back to Jodi. 'If I didn't know better, I might think you were stalking me...'

'Never.' Jodi replied, looking slightly insulted. 'I started out trying to find pictures of other women but you... you were just far too beautiful to add to that so I re-started with the other photographs... mostly ones I'd taken over the last few years.'

Marina paused for a moment, trying to shake off the strange feeling of knowing someone had been watching her. She did, however, manage to find the flatterly in the comment.

Jodi smiled softly. 'I'm sorry, I guess it is a little odd.'

Marina shook her head. 'Dont be. It feels almost as if ... I've had a guardian angel watching over me.' She smiled.

Jodi smiled softly. 'Well, I know I'd certainly like to keep you safe.' She responded tenderly. 'You are so very special.'

Marina nodded. 'That's nice. Thank you.' She looked around. 'Do you have any other works here?'

'Wow.' Marina signed slowly, in awe. 'I wish I could have something like you have your art.'

'You do...' Jodi replied softly. 'You have your amazing cafe don't you?'

Marina smiled. 'Yeah, I suppose I do.' She had always wanted to make a safe-haven for people like her, where lesbians could come and eat and drink without being judged. And she had. The Planet was her baby.

Jodi smiled softly. 'See, you really are amazing.' She shifted closer, gently kissing Marina's shoulder and cheek. 'Don't think you aren't... okay?'
