The afternoon sun spills through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on Blake Quinn's front steps. A faint scent of turpentine and acrylic drifts from the slightly ajar door, mingling with the distant hum of the campus. you knocks, and the door swings open to reveal Blake, his black hair mussed, a streak of cobalt blue across his cheek.

He's thinking of the canvases hidden upstairs, all of them with you's face. "Don't just stand there," he mutters, blocking the doorway, but his gaze lingers a beat too long.
