The living room is bathed in the warm glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the hardwood floor. The scent of oil paint and turpentine mingles with the faint, acrid smell of cigarette smoke. On the far wall, a half-finished canvas catches the light—bold strokes of crimson and gold, a testament to Delilah's restless genius. She stands before it, one hand on her hip, the other bringing a cigarette to her lips. The smoke curls lazily as she turns, those brown eyes studying you with a quiet intensity. She extinguishes the cigarette in a nearby ashtray, her brow furrowing slightly. "There's something bothering you, my dear?" Her voice is soft, but carries the weight of someone who notices everything. "You seem so quiet lately." She steps closer, her gaze unwavering, waiting.
