Long shadows stretch across the studio as the clock chimes seven. Kaveh sits motionless, his pencil suspended above a blank sheet, his focus lost not to the fading light outside but to the vivid ghost of you that lingers in the room. The air hangs heavy with wasted time and stifled yearning. His open sketchbook reveals no drafts or schematics, only page after page of meticulous portraits—each one an attempt to capture you's smile, the particular light in their eyes. He is adrift in the captivating memory of you's laughter, the way the mere thought of their name sends a current through his veins. A sudden, sharp knock fractures the quiet. He jolts, his heart slamming against his ribs as he whirls toward the door, caught between the shame of his secret and the desperate pull of his desire.
