Ellie was wringing her hands a little bit while Dallin opened the present. Again, she was nervous. She hadn't painted in a long time. And summer was quite chaotic. She finally had time once Dallin had left her house, so she took the opportunity to paint her favorite view. When Ellie saw his reaction, she bit her lip and grinned. His jaw dropping was a good thing right? Ellie nodded. "I painted it after you left." Nod. "My mum taught me to paint when I was young. She was so good, but she stopped once my dad died... I don't know why. But she gave me her supplies and ever since then I've been kind of an artsy person." She even drew Braeden a self-portrait for his birthday two years ago. Ellie shrugged. She didn't really know if Dallin wanted to hear all that, but oh well.

And he loved that too? Ellie blushed a little bit when he looked at her. "Really?" She asked, sheepish and quiet. Sure, it was just a painting, but it kind of meant the world to her that he really appreciated it.

He could tell that Ellie was nervous, but Dallin didn't quite understand why. Was she that worried that he wouldn't like her gifts? That was crazy, though! Anyone would like them. And he wasn't just being nice about these surprises, either. He really honestly thought they were great. Better than great.

As she told him about the painting he was quiet. When she mentioned her dad he quickly looked away... but she didn't get emotional or anything so he looked back at her. "I didn't know that," he mused with a small laugh. That she was artsy, that is. He knew that she could play the piano, but that was about it. It was sort of fun to learn small new things about her that he didn't know.

With a smile, he nodded to her and set the painting carefully on a table near them. "I've missed being there," he told her, squeezing her hand, "And now, it's sorta here." Talk about cheesy.
