Prompt: Hello there. Well I have this prompt for you if you don't mind " While on college, Gail works as a photo model. 10+ years later she is dating Holly and Holly discovers Gails photos on old magazines "
Holly just put down a big cardboard box full of Gail's things in her office. Only thing marked on the box is "Freedom Years" and she wonders what that mean. She knows Gail wouldn't mind if she opens the box to see what's inside.
It still blows her mind that Gail is here... moving in with her. In San Francisco of all places. She never imagines this would happen when she left with a broken heart.
Apparently after the whole Peck fiasco in the court, Gail gets tired of living in Toronto and dealing with the brunt of the Peck burden, so she shows up out of blue at Holly's place in San Francisco and confesses her love for Holly.
Holly sigh as she remembers the amazing night they had. They spends all night long reconnecting with each other physically, intimately, and emotionally. Eventually they find time to head back to Toronto and pick up things Gail want to bring back with her.
The tape holding the box together has been torn off by Holly and she opens the top to see random knick knacks and papers. She digs around until she notices couple photos. She picks them up and looks though.
"Holly?"
Holly looks up to see Gail standing and leaning against the door. She shows the photos to Gail. "Didn't know you had a huge crush on Marliyn Monroe."
Gail knows exactly which photo Holly is looking at.
"Well, technically that isn't Marilyn Monroe..."
Holly raises her eyebrows in puzzlement.
"Look closer."
Holly scans the photo again, looking at face closer, and realizes that is NOT Marilyn Monroe.
"Holy shit. Is that you?!"
Gail nods. "Yup." (she pops her lips at the end)
Holly studies the photo of Gail wearing white dress, curly blonde hair, and bright red lipstick.
"God, you look so beautiful."
"I kinda became a model during college years, so I could live on my own."
It's not just physical beauty, but Holly could see how free Gail feels in the photo. Her smile seems lightweight and her shoulder loose without enduring the expectations the Pecks have for her. Holly can see how much fun Gail must've had doing the photo shoots.
"Can I frame this and keep it in my office?"
