The morning sun pours through the tall windows of my studio apartment. Golden light floods every corner. It dances across the cluttered canvases stacked against the walls. It spills over the paint-streaked hardwood floor. It even warms the worn leather couch where I wake up. My body buzzes from a night of fitful dreams. The air carries the sharp tang of turpentine mixed with the rich, earthy scent of fresh oil paint. Those smells wrap around me like an old friend. Hailey left last night, but her lavender perfume still lingers as a faint whisper in the room.

I stretch slowly. My joints pop with the motion. The soft, worn cotton of my oversized shirt brushes against my skin. My phone vibrates on the rickety side table. The screen shows an unknown number. I swipe to answer. My heart skips a beat when a smooth voice cuts through the line.

“José, this is Marcus from Horizon Gallery. Your work is gaining serious traction. Are you interested in a solo show?”

  • In My Professor's Arms    Hailey

    (José’s POV)Morning sunlight pours through the high windows of my studio apartment. It spills in thick golden waves across the cluttered canvases and the paint-splattered floor. I wake up stiff, my back aching from another night crashed on the worn couch. The air carries the sharp bite of turpentine mixed with the earthy depth of drying oil paint. Underneath it all lingers the soft floral trace of Hailey’s perfume. She was here last night, and the scent clings to everything. This is my new rhythm, the one I’ve carved out since Lily walked away. I stretch slowly. My joints pop. The faded cotton of my old shirt brushes against my skin like a familiar friend.My phone buzzes on the rickety side table. The screen lights up with a text from Hailey. It reads, “Morning, babe.

    The air carries the faint vanilla scent from the candle that burned out on the nightstand. It mixes with the crisp freshness of a brand-new morning. I stretch slowly. My joints pop with relief. The sheets feel cool and smooth against my bare skin. I turn my head and look at Victor. He lies beside me. His chest rises and falls in a steady rhythm. His face looks peaceful while he sleeps. The chaos of Clara’s arrest feels distant now. The apology and the social media firestorm seem like memories from someone else’s life. I smile to myself. My heart finally settles. I savor this quiet moment with him.I slip out of bed carefully. The hardwood floor creaks under my bare feet. I grab his shirt from the chair. The fabric feels soft and warm against my skin. His woody scent wraps around me like a comforting hug. I pad into the kitchen. The cold tiles shock my soles at first. I turn on the coffee maker. It gurgles to life and breaks the morning silence. The bitter aroma of fresh cof
