[For Nessa and Jo]Auction winnings
As part of his day with Jo, Julian had decided he would have her sit for Nessa for a portrait. Nessa would have someone to paint, and Julian would have a portrait of his friend to keep that way.
And so after their picnic, Julian led Jo back to he and Nessa's home, smiling at his mother as he saw her all set up and ready. Of course. "Nessa, I'd like you to meet Jo Grant," he introduced, resting a hand lightly on Jo's back as he presented her. "Jo, this is my mother, Vanessa Bell. You're to do whatever she tells you, because she's a brilliant artist." He grinned at Nessa as he said that, teasing and honest all at the same moment.
And he? Would sit beneath a tree and write poetry as he watched Nessa paint, he decided.
