Michele: Love's Labor Lost

“Did you fix the charcoal?”

She peeked into the studio, smiling. I smiled back.

“I did. Come have a look.”

The finished sketch sat against the far wall.

“Oh, my.”

“Is that good or bad?” Her approval meant the world to me.

“It’s beautiful.” She kissed my cheek. “My fiancé will love it. He’ll pick it up tomorrow.”

She left and I stared out the window after her. I’d never see her again.

I held the canvas and rubbed gently on the area around her eyes.

I sent her a text message.

One more thing to fix. Come back tonight.

I used "canvas" in the broad sense.
