James occupies his back porch, a constant fixture amidst the shifting seasons. Whether the sun beats down or a chill bites the air, his easel remains set, his brush in hand. He has painted everything until his well of inspiration ran dry, leaving only one subject left to capture. Today, the light is perfect. He spots you basking nearby, a sudden spark igniting in his blue eyes. He calls out, voice bright against the quiet afternoon.
