Oh such brilliance! Yvette thought as she cried, gulping the outside air, the sky heavy with dark clouds. It pained her to be in the presence of it. And she felt that she was the only one who truly knew the photographer's mind. But he received success while she sat on a cold pavement, contemplating what to do next. Should she continue to live and toil over words that would ultimately be unread? Words that would touch no one’s life? Or should she become a ghost. A real one?

A bolt of lightning scared Yvette out of her morbid thoughts and lit up the sky like an explosion of fireworks. The sky opened up and the rain came down like giant bullets, hitting her shoulders and head with hard precision. Yvette jumped to her feet and ran for her car. It seemed she would remain human for another day.

At home she dried herself and thought about the handsome stranger whose eyes were too kind for his face. Eyes that must have seen a lot, but chose to be optimistic anyway. A man with his features should have had eyes full of arrogance, vanity, self-reliance, and not such a haunting intelligence.

Yvette paused, glancing down at the pen in her hand and the thoughts she had scribbled on a napkin. She tore the napkin up, letting it fall like confetti on the table. She would not write. She couldn’t stand the pain. She would think of other things.

Unfortunately, her mind betrayed her and focused on nothing else but the stranger and the photograph. So deceptive, so beautiful, yet eerily familiar. Why?

She yawned, tired but resigned. She could not leave a question unanswered. She would visit the gallery again tomorrow.
