Portrait of Jill

the long version

Jill, a happy, sparkling girl, worked at an art gallery, unaware that she was more beautiful than the pictures she sold. But like a mysterious portrait, her real emotions were elusive, even to those closest to her. And when she was reluctant to go to Provence for her work, no one dreamed she had a genuine reason - the fear of meeting again the man whose memory had haunted her for the past two years. Who was the girl behind the picture? Who really knew her? For even those closest to her were aware of the reserve, the deep pools of emotion beneath the happy, sparkling surface.
