He was my muse.
Ethan Blackwood.
His MFA thesis exhibition, "The City Through My Eyes," was being showcased at the art gallery on campus.
I had heard about this talented graduate student who painted like no other, but had yet to see his work.
Having a strong foundation in literature, I was intrigued by the title of his exhibition and decided to check it out.
Upon entering the gallery, I was immediately struck by the vibrant colors and emotion evoked from the canvases lining the walls.
Each piece depicted a different aspect of the city from Ethan’s unique perspective.
From towering skyscrapers to crumbling bridges, busy streets to secluded alleys, every painting told a story.
I wandered through the space, drinking in the beauty and emotion emanating from the artwork.
Standing in front of a particularly stunning piece, I felt a presence behind me and turned to find myself face to face with the artist himself.
"Wow. Simply wow."
Ethan’s dark hair framed his face, and his piercing blue eyes held my gaze captive.
At over six feet tall, he towered over my petite frame.
He looked powerful and creative, like he could mold the world with his paintbrushes.
"Thank you. I’m Ethan."
His deep voice sent a shiver running down my spine as he extended his hand.
"I’m Sarah. It’s an amazing exhibition. Each piece tells such a vivid story."
His eyes never left mine as he smiled.
I stood beside Sarah, watching as her eyes lingered on my paintings, her curiosity piquing my interest.
She turned to me, her bright blue eyes full of questions. "What inspired you to capture the city like this?" she asked, her voice a mix of awe and genuine curiosity.
I paused, considering how much to reveal. The city was my sanctuary, my confidant, and my muse. It was where I found solace, where I hid from the demons that haunted me.
"It's the city's heartbeat," I replied, gesturing towards a canvas depicting a crowded street at dusk. "Every corner has a story."
Her eyes widened as she nodded, absorbing my words. We moved slowly from painting to painting, discussing each piece's story. She listened intently, her eyes sparkling with fascination.
As we reached the last canvas, I noticed Lucas Reed entering the gallery, his presence signaling an unexpected shift in our conversation. His piercing green eyes scanned the room, locking onto us with an intensity that made my skin crawl.
Sarah seemed oblivious to the tension, still lost in the world of my art. "This one is my favorite," she said, pointing to a painting of a rain-soaked alleyway. "It's like I'm right there, feeling the rain on my skin."
I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. "That's exactly what I wanted to convey."
Lucas approached us, his footsteps echoing through the silent gallery. "Ethan, congratulations on the exhibition," he said, his voice dripping with insincerity.
I nodded curtly, my instincts on high alert. What did he want?
Sarah turned to him, extending her hand. "Hi, I'm Sarah."
Lucas's gaze flickered to her before returning to me. "Lucas Reed. Ethan's...friend."
The word hung in the air like a challenge. I bristled at the implication, my mind racing with possibilities.
Sarah seemed unaware of the undercurrents, chatting with Lucas as if they were old friends. I watched them, my eyes darting between their faces, sensing that something was about to unfold.
And then, in an instant, Lucas's expression changed. His eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched, and he reached into his pocket.
My heart raced as he pulled out a small piece of paper and handed it to me. "You've been served," he sneered.
Sarah's eyes widened in shock as she turned to me, her voice barely a whisper. "Ethan, what is this about?"
I swallowed hard, my mind reeling from the unexpected confrontation. "It's... a legal notice," I replied, struggling to keep my voice steady.
As we sat on the bench, the crumpled legal notice seemed to weigh heavier in my hand, its creases deepening like the lines on my forehead.
Sarah's eyes never left mine, her gaze a gentle probe, encouraging me to open up.
I took a deep breath, the night air filling my lungs, and began to speak, my voice low and hesitant. "It's about my past, Sarah. Things I've tried to keep hidden."
The words felt like a betrayal, a confession of secrets I'd kept locked away for so long.
Sarah's hand tightened around mine, her fingers intertwining with mine like the threads of a tapestry.
"I'm here for you, Ethan," she said, her voice soft and reassuring. "We can face this together."
I looked at her, searching for any sign of doubt or fear, but her eyes remained steadfast, shining like beacons in the darkness.
The sound of distant traffic hummed through the night air, a constant reminder of the city's pulse, as I struggled to find the right words.
"It's about my family," I continued, my voice barely above a whisper. "About what happened before I came to this city."
Sarah's grip on my hand remained firm, her presence a lifeline as I navigated the treacherous waters of my past.
I paused, collecting my thoughts, as the moon cast an silver glow over the deserted park.
Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the sound of footsteps echoing through the park, growing louder with each passing moment.
My heart quickened as I turned to Sarah, our eyes locking in a flash of understanding.
