Almost done.

Taylor surveyed the workroom. Excitement nipped her nerves as she realized she had one last painting to do before she was done.

She’d talked on the phone with Luis after sending him some pics, and they’d discussed the different ways to stage her portion of the studio to best exhibit her collection. He urged her to come up with an overall theme, citing it as an important element to the success of her work. She had a hard time not laughing at that statement.

God, who would have thought her paintings needed a theme? She’d chased the nameless, faceless woman through her dreams, but Luis wanted a backstory—a way to explain to people what her thinking process was and the overall arc of the work.

At least she got to paint first, then come up with her theme. She guessed this was like writing a book before composing the marketing hook. The author needed the story, but the sales team needed to sell copies. Business and art working together.

Still, thinking of it as a body of work helped. Because she’d decided to put the woman in a red dress for consistency, in the ones where she was naked, Taylor had added flashes of red color in the mud earth, the crushed leaves, the flash of a squirrel, and other tiny touches to weave a thread of unity into each painting.

Taylor faced the blank canvas. The last painting was to be the culmination of the woman’s search. She’d finally be face-to-face with her lover and allow herself to be truly vulnerable, opening her heart for the first and last time. Taylor just didn’t know what the man’s reaction would be. Or if it mattered. If it was the woman’s journey, did it matter if he accepted her love or rejected it? The truth of the offering was the main message. That’s what she needed to get across.

Somehow.

She groaned and stumbled out of her room, rubbing her eyes. A glance at the clock showed late afternoon, but time meant nothing to her anymore. She’d begun at nine a.m. and worked through lunch. Time to fuel up, stretch, and get back to it. She had to use every possible second she had left to finish this last piece.

At least she’d gotten over her awful creative block. After struggling for weeks, her muse had finally broken open and spilled her contents until Taylor felt as if she was channeling endless images onto the canvas, caught in an artistic frenzy. It was wonderful and filled her up from the inside.

Funny thing. It had also coincided with when she’d begun sleeping with Pierce.

An odd coincidence.

As if his ears were burning, her phone vibrated. She picked it up. Finished with Hernandez wedding. Up for pizza?

She hadn’t seen Pierce in three days. They’d both been busy with work and on crazy schedules. Her heart squeezed in anticipation of seeing his face, especially if he brought a pizza box with him. She hurriedly texted back. Hell yes. Get pepperoni.

The thumbs-up emoji flashed.
