you have two clients. First, a little family that will inundate you with pictures of children. They want a video that will be a gift for the grandparents. Then a young woman who wants a romantic video for her boyfriend. I suspect she will have a lot of material too.”
    Zoe nudged Eric. “You know how it works, right? When you get photos or videos from couples, you must show me everything…”
    â€œDo you know the word
privacy
?”
    â€œIf you look at the material, I can do it too! We work together. I’m a business associate here, therefore I can decide to check on what the clients bring us – just to be sure everything is ok.” Zoe laughed.
    â€œYou’re a damn busy body, Zoe!” Liberty shook her head.
    â€œAre you really thinking that clients bring us porno or sexy material to be put together for a Christmas video?” Eric sighed.
    Zoe shook her dark bob. “What you may consider
too much
, can be absolutely normal for others. And anyway, sex is part of a couple’s life. So why not? If I had to make a video about my best moments with a boyfriend, I would include…”
    â€œOk – I get it! If I get porno material, I will call you.”
    Zoe followed Eric with her eyes, “I adore this guy.”
    â€œWe adore him too. So, please Zoe, leave him alone, otherwise one day he may end up resigning. Today you have to deal with two children, and then with the bridal couple, the friends of Clover’s client. So, if you hear anything that could help her find the right gift, call her. Have a good work day, girls!”
    As soon as Liberty left, Zoe stared at her list with all the appointments of the day, “I hate working with children. They can’t sit still, not even for a moment!”
    â€œWell, you can always cheer yourself up by inventing some hard sexy pose for the couple…” Clover replied.
    Eric shouted from the other room. “Don’t give her any ideas!”
    Clover left the store giggling and began to walk briskly along Madison Avenue. She loved working there. It put her in a good mood.
    Giftland
was a two story shop that Liberty inherited and had managed for the last three years. Originally it was an old office supplies store that her maternal grandparents owned and ran for many years. Liberty had spent lots of summers there, helping them during school vacations. She still remembered with a certain nostalgia the smell of paper and old wooden floors. After graduation, she started to work there full time, bringing new ideas and helping them with improvements. The clientele began to become more eclectic, and eventually Liberty became the owner, after her grandparents retired. At that point she renovated the space and changed the sign. She worked hard to update the store’s image, to make it more unique and trendy.
    Zoe Mathison was her first employee. She was a talented young photographer looking for a job. Zoe was able to transform a simple photo shoot into something special; a great personalized gift for any kind of event. Liberty had immediately sensed her potential: her talent and her good looks attracted clientele.
    Eric Morgan had arrived a few months later, to give to Zoe technical support. He created short films based upon various given themes. He was Zoe’s friend from college, and – although they were incredibly different – they were very close. Zoe had strongly recommended him because of his conscientiousness, maturity and intelligence. He was discreet and shy, but he was indispensable in the store. There wasn’t a client that he couldn’t please with his work.
    Liberty was not only the store manager, she also offered something unique to her clients. She wrote customized short poems, sometimes adding beautiful drawings. Clover liked to describe Liberty’s work as a way
to capture those unique moments in time
. It wasn’t easy to describe the intense emotions and memories of her clients
