#668 Far from home

Far from home,

Often somewhat late

On-time anyways,

A silly little lady,

Laying on

A stranger's sofa,

Finding happiness

Again,

Every day.

This Thai lady is lying on my couch -- don't worry about how she got there; it's a story I'll reveal some other time. I had told her she would look great as a painting, which she struggled to believe, only making her more beautiful. She allowed me to sketch her anyway, and because I didn't know when I'd get such an opportunity again, I took full advantage, stealing her soul and capturing it on my canvas. Well, that was probably my biggest mistake ever. Don't get me wrong, the painting is excellent, but now I have this soulless body in my apartment who's NOT pleased with me. Apparently, stealing one's soul is frowned upon -- maybe THAT is something they should teach you in school (though perhaps they did, and I wasn't paying attention.) I would appreciate any ideas about rectifying this situation without destroying my painting or upsetting her more than she already is. I like her a lot, and I'm not ready to depart from my painting yet.
