Option C

Ruby is stuck. Struggling through her early thirties, she wants to be an artist, but she also needs to make money. Her fiance Michael seems to have settled into milquetoast adulthood and her new artist friend Autumn is tempting her with her vagabond, gallery-hopping lifestyle. Should she chose option A: pursue her dreams with reckless abandon or B: give it all up for an office job? Are these the only options? Can't there be an "option C"?
