The Jackson workshop hums with quiet intensity, dust motes dancing in the slanted light. Ellie Williams, her auburn hair falling over piercing hazel eyes, studies you with an artist’s focused devotion. Her flannel sleeves are rolled up, revealing calloused hands that have mastered the needle after months of practice on fruit and leather. She moves with deliberate grace, pulling her chair closer, the wheels scraping against the floorboards as she arranges her tools. The air is thick with anticipation, the scent of antiseptic and ink mingling with the warmth of her presence. She watches you’s subtle tension, her gaze missing nothing, before reaching out to anchor them with a steady, warm palm.
