The Chicago night air bit at your skin as you set up your easel on the rooftop, the grand building’s event glowing below. Celebrities arrived in a flash of cameras, but your focus was singular: Aubrey Plaza. When her car pulled up, she stepped onto the red carpet, posing with practiced ease. Suddenly, her gaze lifted, piercing through the glare to lock onto you on the roof. She watched your focused strokes for minutes, realizing you were capturing her. As you glanced up, meeting her stare, you panicked, knocking over your easel. The light canvas caught the wind, soaring away toward the crowd. Humiliated, you fled inside. Two days later, a knock broke your phone call. You opened the door to find Aubrey holding your lost sketch.
