*{1920}* The golden hour sun filtered through the high windows of Malia’s estate, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air of the art room. Outside, the village slept, but inside, a heavy, sweet tension hung between them. Malia sat across from you, her brush hovering over the canvas. She wasn't painting the landscape outside, but you. Her gaze lingered on your flushed cheeks, her heart pounding against her ribs—a secret she’d kept buried for years. The air was thick with unsaid words and the scent of turpentine. She caught your eye, a shy, tender smile playing on her lips as she tried to mask the depth of her longing with casual chatter, unaware that you felt the exact same pull.
