BACKGROUND INFO ⸻

tw pregnancy, infidelity

Growing up, Gianna was always regarded as a miracle baby. Her parents had been trying to conceive for years and despite all the money they invested, they weren't successful. Her mother, a very successful luxury fashion designer, was overjoyed when finally became pregnant with baby gianna.

Her face was covering magazines before she could even speak. She often felt like a doll as every outfit and accessory was carefully picked out for her, neatly pressed and not a single hair out of place. 'You're my best work of art' her mother would often tell her. The girl felt pressured to meet her mother's expectations of a perfect girl. After all, she was her only child. And so she became exactly what her mother wanted her to be.

All through school, she had excellent grades. She danced ballet and played the piano, she even learned some french. As her mother wanted, she continued on modeling -eventually becoming the face of her mother's brand. But her heart lied in the arts. She disappear to a room and spend her day painting her hearts desire.

Her love life was the one place where she felt the most secure and grounded - like she didn't have to be anyone but herself. Despite it being orchestrated by her parents, she quickly fell in love with Carter. He was her first everything. She'd follow him to the moon, if he so pleased. Their relationship was far from perfect, but she knew he cared about her as much as she cared about him...Or so that's what it seemed.

They were talking of marriage when she noticed that there was a change, some distinct distance in him. It didn't make sense. At first she thought it was the job or that he was getting cold feet. It never occurred to her that he'd be betray her until it left his lips. It tore her apart to know the man she loved , her rock, cheated on her.

Gianna has spent the past year working on herself. She had been traveling more, showcasing her art more and growing sole focused on her individuality, something she hadn't done in a long time.

"It's very pretty" Mia said simply, looking at Gianna's work. It wasn't the first piece she saw, but it was better than the last one. "Have you shown your mother?" Mia asked handing it back to the girl. Last time, the woman had..a lot of opinions when Mia had told Gianna she has potential but the piece hadn't been her best work yet.

[giannasutherland]

Gianna smiled, finally relaxing after Mia's assessment of her work. Balancing her career as a model while also continuing to grow her art had been incredibly hard these past couple of months. There was always fashion week, campaigns and events that she needed to attend. "No, thanks. Luckily, she's been busier than me lately." The woman replied. As much as she seeked Ester Sutherland's validation, she didn't always handle the criticism well. Her mother did not have the best delivery of opinion -often forgetting it was her daughter she was speaking to and not someone on her staff. "It doesn't feel flat, does it? I really tried to think more about what you said last time."

[imogenjwarwick]

"Oh my gosh, yes please. What are we thinking? I don't know that I'm having a particular craving right now, but that might change with some suggestions." Imogen was trying not to order out as much, but her social life seemed to be a lot more busy than normal these days. "Oh, wait. Red or white? Maybe that will help with dinner."

[giannasutherland]

"Hm, I'm thinking some sushi would pair amazing with white wine. So we could order some sushi." Gianna suggested. It was honestly one of her obsession. That and pasta. Anything with seafood in it, honestly. "We could always look at Neptune's menu and I can ask Carter to pick it up for me."

[carter-harris]

“Not at all.” Sometimes it was nice not having to dress up and go out. Sometimes just letting his walls down, not hiding behind designer clothes or suits that made him look important, was what he needed. He couldn’t do that with many people, but Gianna was always one of them. She was one of the very few people in Carter’s life who got to see the real him. “I was going to suggest I make us dinner, too, though. Haven’t cooked for you in a while.” Cooking was something Carter actually loved to but seldom did anymore unless it was for his mother while she wasn’t well.

@giannasutherland

[giannasutherland]

Her brows raised eagerly the moment he mentioned cooking something for them. There was no denying that he was the better cook out of the two. Cooking was not something she had the patience for. Little snacks and charcuterie boards were the only things she genuined like to do, obviously because of the creative artsy piece to it. "You spoil me! I would absolutely love that. What are you planning to make?" she asked while caressing the cat's head.

[giannasutherland]

👖 JEANS - what is their go-to outfit?

"You can never go wrong with a buttoned up, a mini skirt, and heels. Bag and accessories are a must, too. Depending the weather, maybe some sunglasses."

[giannasutherland]

37: Is it easier to forgive or forget?

"Personally, forgiveness comes easy to me...it's the forgetting part that sometimes I can struggle with."

[giannasutherland]

🎷 SAXOPHONE - do they play any instruments? are they any good at it?

"I can play the piano and the guitar. I wouldn't say I'd blow someone's mind with my skills, but I'm pretty decent."

where - pottery paint and sip

With her brother with the babysitter for the afternoon, Mireya was looking forward to spending some time not being a parent (and not being in a sadness spiral). Even still, as she sipped at her glass of lavender wine, she found herself painting her little garden gnome in Sammy's favorite colors. "Not sure how much use this will get since we don't have a garden...Maybe I should bite the bullet and look into house rentals? Get Sammy a place with a yard and all.."

[giannasutherland]

Gianna smiled as she looked up from the flower pot she was painting. "That is such a wonderful idea!" She knew Sammy would definitely love to have a yard to run and play around in, especially now that the weather was getting nice again and he'd soon be out for summer break. "You know, I've thought about possibly moving out. The one thing stopping me is that I've never lived alone and that's low key scary...We could totally look into something together, though...If you're open to it."

[andyacostas]

Andy deflated a little. "Damn. I kinda thought that there would be more of, like, a climax to that story. Like, hot coffee getting thrown in someone's face or something. Why pick a fight with someone if you're just gonna walk away?"

(A bit rich coming from Andy, who would rather die than pick a fight with anyone, but she stood by it.)

@giannasutherland

[giannasutherland]

"I'm glad it didn't escalate further. I was right there, I would've been the one with coffee all over." Gianna replied. She was not one to get confrontational with people very easily. Nor was she any better at settling disagreements. But the one thing she knew was that she did not want to end up with coffee burns. "I just know it is never that serious."

[alfiearmstrongs]

"Wow, can't even simp a little on main without getting dunked on?" Alfie asks, the smile on his face diluting likelihood that he took any actual offence to Gianna's words.

( Plus, it was difficult to pretend to be nonchalant when he thought of Louie. )

"I'd give that mixer five stars on Yelp all day every day. Crazy to think 'cause I was I was dragging myself to guaranteed lameness."

@giannasutherland

[giannasutherland]

Gianna chuckled lightly in response. As someone who loved love and to see others happy, it thrilled her that Alfie had found someone that'd make his heart get a little rush again. The two became close at a low point in their personal/romantic lives. So much has changed since then.

"They better make you guys the face of it next year!" the redhead continued. "How is everything going with you guys? Have you met the friends or the parents?"

[giannasutherland]

27. How do you deal when you know you’re being irrationally jealous?

"Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed to admit this...but once I realize that I am being irrational, I kinda like fold my arms and feign being upset so that Carter can comfort me. Please don't tell him!" @carter-harris

[giannasutherland]

What is your favorite strategy for avoiding conflict?

"I try to put myself in the other person's shoes and understand their point of view. Sometimes we can be a little selfish in our reasoning, so if you take some time to reflect and see things through a different lens...it helps resolve the conflict."

[syrenaxharris]

"Great! I'm so glad to hear that." Syrena said with a smile as she admired her friend's happiness. The party was beautiful and Gianna deserved every bit of it, Syrena only hoped that she knew that. "I also can't wait for you to open up my gift. Trust me, it's way better than whatever Carter got you." She said teasingly, of course having to add sibling rivalry to it. But only because she wanted to give her the better gift.

[giannasutherland]

"I don't know, your brother tends to spoil me." Gianna said in response with a light laugh. The little sibling rivalry that Syrena and Carter had was something that Gianna definitely envied. While she was blessed with amazing friends that were almost like siblings to her, she was an only child. "But I can't wait to see what you got me. I'm sure it is amazing since you know me too well."

[carter-harris]

Honeysuckle - What one thing would seal the deal in a relationship with you?

Being Gianna Sutherland.

"So I guess that single's mixer thing worked out for you, huh? Saturdays sure are pretty." Gianna teased a little bit as she looked at Alfie.
