<4 Years Ago>
"Eli, what are you working on?" I call as I walk out of the bathroom. I had just finished my shower and Eli was working on another art piece.
He looks up and smiles at me. All this man ever does is smile, and I love it.
I walk over and poke his dimples before looking up at his canvas. It looks almost finished.
"Wait, is this the beach we visited the other day?" I ask.
Eli nods. "Can you tell?"
"Yeah! How are you so talented?" I giggle.
"Treasure, I think I should leave before your dad sees me. You know he doesn't like me being here."
"What? No, stay with me for a little longer... you haven't even ever seen him before," I say.
"I know... but still."
When he sees my pouty face he says, "I'll stay until I finish this painting."
I happily sit down next to Eli and lay my head in his lap as I watch him paint away.
↶*ೃ✧˚. ❃ ↷ ˊ-
I must have fallen asleep, because when I wake up Eli is gone and I'm left with only the painting replacing his absence.
I sit up and take in the artwork. Immediately I notice a girl in the middle of the picture. She's wearing the same outfit I wore that day at the beach.
Eli painted me.
Warmth fills my heart, and underneath I write the missing piece of information.
Year 15, Scarlett Dynasty.
Aerith Santos.
