‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ꪖngeline has always made friends in unusual ways.  This explains why her big group of friends has shrunk to a few.  She had two close friends she saw on occasion, nothing so pressing that all three of them owed it to each other to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Austin was her cousin, but he was the closest friend she had.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎  Nicholas Nixon was also in sight.  Nicholas represented a person who was there at all hours of the day and night for her.  His grouchy demeanor turned him off to everyone, despite the fact that he was regarded as the world's biggest fool. They met when fifteen-year-old Angeline was crying on the side of the road after accidently stepping on a baby snail; Nicholas assumed from a distance that it was something more severe.  He approached her and offered to assist, to which she began to laugh awkwardly.

  ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ She had no idea it was the guy Austin had gone to high school with.  They were both three years and a couple of months older than she was.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎  Austin was usually open-minded, which is perhaps why he was the group's main therapist.  Nicholas was the pleasant one, whereas Angeline was almost always tongue-tied.  A chaotic trio.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ All three of them liked movies and photography, and Angeline loved to draw and write, hence the name of their business.  The boys were soon able to pay a studio to practice their art because they were older.  Something else always appeared more important as the years went by.  But Angeline got ahead of them; after a few months of deliberation, Angeline decided to contact the studio ad and organize a tour.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎  Previously, their type of studio was Austin's basement, which they modified to look more free.  In the long term, it was insufficient to establish a career.  They were all aware of it.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ She fell in love with the building, which had just the most basic furnishings.  She and them signed a 'contract' outlining how everything would be shared evenly.  The chaotic trio is now a thing.

  ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ In addition, there was information regarding the emotional state of the group of friends.  Angeline was slowly but steadily building feelings for Nicholas.  They will always blame his flirtatious disposition; he was the walking prince of flirtation.  Angeline knew it was a poor idea to fall in love with her best friend... to be with someone she was as close to as flesh and blood.  That nonsense wrecks everything.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Austin was taken aback by her abrupt shifts in actions.  For someone who barely passed psychology in high school, he was remarkably successful at recognizing other people's emotions in his life.  He did not want  twenty years old Angeline to be disappointed; she would be upset after a few months while Nicholas went through his manic phase.

  ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Nicholas saw her as a younger sister, something banned by his good friend Austin - he had threatened him once not to bring her into his swashbuckling age.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Everything was as obvious as day after that chat.  For a while, the two drifted apart. Until Angeline met a man who was worthy of her time.  That relationship did not end well, and Nicholas is to fault - envy occurred.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎  It was not the first time this had happened.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎  It happened frequently.  Both unintentional and intentional.
