EIGHT EXCRUCIATING DAYS had gone by since Zach shared his past with me. It had also been that long since I was wrapped up in his body. He was busy with the restaurant, most nights coming home long after I’d fallen asleep. It was my hope that in the mornings he’d be alongside me, holding me in a way that seemed effortless. In the few times we’d shared a bed, I’d gotten used to having him there. Perhaps it was all the years of family life. He was confident with me, caring. But he’d been missing from my life for over a week now, and I missed him.

My days were filled with interviews, paperwork, and tasks for Grace. My spare time was dedicated to taking photos. I was getting acquainted with my new camera, and I promised myself I’d get out and explore the city. I made arrangements with Ben to take his photo and do a short interview. The film had finished shooting, and he would be leaving for Los Angeles after the wrap party. I needed to utilize the short amount of time he had left.

“It’s a good thing you know some makeup tips for guys,” I told Renee. I had called for her help, asking if she was willing to assist me. She gladly obliged. “How did you start?”

“I watched a lot of YouTube tutorials. My sister asked me to apply her makeup for her wedding. I started doing freelance jobs here and there. It’s not a full-time gig, but it’s fun when I’m referred.” She wandered into the living room. Though her petite frame didn’t fill the space, her optimism and sweet demeanor were larger than life.

I’d decorated the house with art books and a few antique pieces Grace let me borrow for the shoot. It brought warmth to the interior. In the corner, I set up a screen, a stool, and lights. My equipment was finally coming together. Zach hadn’t protested me taking over his space, but he was hardly around anyway.

“So, what are the photos for we’re taking today? Headshots?” She grabbed one of the art books and flipped through the pages as I set up a tripod for my camera.

“Some candid shots, a few portrait styles. I’m getting my portfolio together. I want to take some photos of my brother and his friends before they leave.” I checked the memory card on the camera.

“Where are they going?” Renee put the book down and walked to a bookshelf that housed knickknacks.

I had yet to tell her whom I was related to, but we’d known each other long enough now where I could confide in her. I wouldn’t have invited her to help me if I didn’t trust her. “My brother’s an actor, and his friends are, too. They’re all taking different jobs around the country.”

“Cool,” Renee said simply. Austin was a city full of aspiring artists. It didn’t surprise me that she would assume they were struggling actors. “Has your brother been in anything I might’ve seen?”

I smiled and approached her, grabbing her hand in mine, patting it gently.
