For my own, I sharing the next step of Christopher’s next step in ‘Waiting for Rebirth’, my prelude to my ‘Tales of the Navel/The Shadow Forest’ series. Damian has just finished the painting…
One afternoon, the paintbrush stopped dancing. Its silence tingled in my ears, interrupting my contemplation of the sky.
“It’s finally done.”
I blinked, looked down and across the garden in a direction I’d always avoided.
Eyes filled with with a pink dawn and a purple twilight locked onto my own, gleaming with a shy hope. Damian smiled at me and beckoned, just like he had when I first laid eyes on him.
“Come and meet yourself,” he said, pushing back the stool I’d never noticed before.
“come and meet yourself.” — Such an intriguing line! ♡

Oh, that’s got to be a nerve-racking moment – just before he sees that painting. Great place to leave a snippet too! 🙂

Aww. It’s so cute that Damian’s excited/nervous about how the painting will be received.
Love the eye colour imagery, too.
