“Lee, what’s wrong?” Morgan sat calmly into the chair in front of Lee’s desk.

“Nothing. I think it’s a great idea.” Lee pushed down the lump that knotted in throat. “Tell me more.” In spite of the anxiety growing in her belly, she was excited by Morgan’s excitement and she didn’t want her to stop.

“Okay. Those paintings…they are exquisite, and they need to be seen. But not just in any way. They are meant to incite and stimulate the senses on their own, but we need to capitalize on that. We need to offer the viewers a chance to slow down and spend private moments with Venus to gain new insights and pleasures.”

Lee flashed back to the visions and dreams she’d had often about her own Venus, Morgan. The way she described Lee’s own thoughts made her feel exposed and vulnerable. Displaying those pieces was a risk in itself, but displaying those pieces with the intent to provoke desire in others the way Morgan did made her especially anxious. Lee didn’t have panic attacks. She always handled everything with a sort of removed attitude and an open mind. “I…I don’t know, Morgan. It may be too—”

“Close your eyes.”

“What?”

“Just listen for a second. Close your eyes.” Lee closed her eyes as instructed. “Now imagine this. A dark room, the walls draped in thick fabric to absorb any extra light. Paintings of Venus line the walls, each illuminated individually in its own private space. You stand in front of Gentileschi’s Venus and Cupid, alone. Just you and the master, contemplating the smoothness of her skin and the innocence of her sleep. The noise and the crowds around you fade into the darkness, and you are left only in the company of her.”

Morgan’s voice was soft and soothing, and Lee was mesmerized. It wasn’t the unfamiliar face of Gentileschi’s Venus that she envisioned as she listened to the words spoken, it was Morgan. Lee opened her eyes, calmed by the sound of Morgan’s voice, her heart melted in her chest. “Yes. It’s absolutely…perfect.”
