Breakfast at Claudia's

Submitted by Claudia J.

Sebastian and I met Breakfast-at-Tiffany's-style, since his flat is directly above mine. We met more than 2 years ago, but it took us more than 6 month to become a couple. Back in those days, I was occupied dealing with three jobs, painting and renewing my flat and bottle-feeding four abandoned kittens while trying not to neglect my own to cats. Six cats in total, ladies and gentlemen! In other words, he had to deal with a single mother of six who had no free time at all and  whose face and upper body used to be sprinkled with dried paint (the violet one is the one he still remembers fondly). Alas, we used the little amount of time we had to talk and cook and, strangely, he made me play rummy with him every day. 

Luckily, our platonic relationship turned out non-platonic eventually, and here we are, still living in two separate flats and yet me hearing his every step. 

Which is why I would love to have one of those fabulous portraits just now. (Yes, I am still a cat-lady and I now own 3 cats in total. Sebastian's relationship to the bunch is half love, half hate. But we manage). I would also love to have some playing cards included in the picture, and a reference to this wonderful film would be great, since both of us are film geeks.
