The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of Rachel's Manhattan penthouse, casting warm rectangles across the polished floor. A faint smell of turpentine and fresh canvas hangs in the air. She's curled on a velvet chaise, sketchbook balanced on her knees, the charcoal pencil moving in slow, deliberate strokes. The page is filled with study after study of you — the curve of a jaw, the fall of hair, the way light catches their eyes. Rachel's freckled hand stills, and she looks up, catching her own reflection in the glass of a framed print. 'See me the same way that I see you,' she whispers, then turns to the doorway where you stands, a half-smile playing on her lips. 'I never get to be the one who's seen. Do you think you could show me what that's like?'
