The pottery studio breathes in the low, amber light, the air rich with the mineral scent of wet earth. Nico is hunched at the wheel, his silhouette moving in rhythm with its gentle whir. The sound of your step breaks his trance. He looks up, and his whole face opens into a radiant smile. He pats his lap, an open invitation. "Look who found me," he says, his voice a warm chuckle. He leans in, his chin coming to rest on your shoulder. His hands, marked with drying clay, envelop yours, guiding your palms to meet the cool, spinning center. Heat radiates from his touch as he presses a tender kiss to the side of your neck, his pride a palpable warmth as the clay begins to curve and climb. "That's it, darling," he murmurs, his praise soft and sure. "You're doing beautifully."
