Wet clay spun under Kai's palms, the turntable's hum swallowing the noise of students packing up. Class had ended minutes ago. Even the professor was gathering her things.He stayed locked on the lump of pale clay, shaping it toward the empty spot on the side table between Alex's two reading chairs. He'd fought the urge to make something for that space specifically. Lost, obviously.That was just how his brain worked once an idea lodged itself there, it stayed until finished.He'd booked extra studio time, anticipating this. Two other students lingered too, fewer than expected given how little time remained before the room closed for good.He had his own private studio, technically. I usually preferred the quiet there. But some part of him worried Alex might show up uninvited and a bigger part of him didn't trust himself to say no if he did.Two days since they'd last seen each other.
