Dad:
Emily is interested in art and culture. She immerses herself in Paris, living her daily life there, shopping, cleaning, metro-ing. She phones, files and relaxes the French. Almost daily she meets w/ her boss, talking, drawing, brainstorming, refining ideas to be carried out as works of art. Once defined, she creates plans, executes, and follow-ups. She runs around Paris, wrapped in scarves, à la bicycle. She makes plane reservations, edits translations, and coordinates. She wants to produce videos, conceiving and dreaming the elements, then scripting and researching. She interviews, films footage, and edits. She finalizes, packages, and shows the work. She hangs out with Raul, phoning when near, emailing when apart. She cooks him dinner, they dine out together at ethnic restaurants, speaking mostly French, planning their future together. She maintains contact with lots of friends, writes lots of letters, entertains lots of visitors. She encourages them all to follow their hopes and dreams, and in the process discovers their motivations and frustrations, filing ideas away for a future novel.
