because you have a passion for it, and you enjoy it. You did
say that you were donating all the money to charity, so you’re
not doing it for the income. I’m assuming you also have
enough to live on, at least for a good long while because
you’re not working, and you have the house and it’s in the
middle of nowhere. You don’t seem like you’re very excited
about going back to photography. You did say that you wanted
to sit still for a change. Just be in one place for a longer period
of time.”
“Yeah.” Adalynn nodded. “You’re very perceptive, and you
have a good memory. All of that is true.”
“So, you have an income already? Or money to live off of,
at any rate?”
“I do.”
Cassia slowly exhaled. She was sitting in an extra computer
chair beside Adalynn and watched her carefully for signs that
she was offended, but her face stayed soft and open. She was
so worried that Adalynn was going to take what she was
saying the wrong way. Money was a tough subject for a lot of
people.
“I was thinking that maybe, after the house is done, if you
didn’t want to do any other videos or photography, you
wouldn’t have to.”
Adalynn considered that angle. She crossed her arms over
her chest and studied Cassia, trying to figure out where she
was going with what she was trying to say. “No, I guess I
wouldn’t, if I lived within my means and was careful. I have
lots of money, but if I spent it like crazy on stupid things, then
I wouldn’t. If I stuck to a budget and invested, then I would be
fine.”
