The canvas sat pale and blank on her desk as she sat at her art table. She held an annoyed expression as she stared at the blank canvas. No matter how hard she could think, no ideas would come to her mind.

"Are you okay?" Jess asked as he held a hand on her shoulder.

He set an ice-cold coffee on her art table with the straw already inserted.

"Not really, I have three paintings due before the end of the semester, and I currently have none finished. I only have a couple of weeks to finish, and we'll start them." Maren sighed.

"Why can't you come up with ideas?" Jess asked as he sat at the extra chair at her table.

"No inspiration comes to me here. I need a new reference. There's a place I could go, but nows not a good time." Maren spoke as she tapped her chin.

"Maren, if stars Hallow is where you need inspiration, they we can go there." Jess shrugged his shoudlers.

"Your mom is there." Maren said.
"I can't stay away forever, plus I need some different clothes." Jess said.

"I don't want you worrying about me. I'll stick with you." Jess said after she raised her brow.

"Okay, but the second you want to get out of there, we'll go." Maren said with a smile.

"Sounds good." He grinned before kissing her cheek and walking to the kitchen.

Maren grabbed an art bag and put in three canvases, paint brushes, paints, and cups.

She also packed a couple of clothes for the short stay.

She walked to the kitchen with her bags and keys before writing a note to her roommate, and then the couple left the dorm.

She decided just to go with Jess to his car and he would drop her off at the college or she would catch a bus.

Jess held a paranoid expression as the couple parked and got out by Lukes diner.

"Where's the first place you want to go?" Jess asked.

"The gazebo." Maren spoke before walking over to it.

"The gazebo?" Jess asked as he followed her.

She sat in the grass and grabbed one of her canvases before laying our her paints and brushes.

Jess looked around before grabbing a book from his pocket and sitting beside her.

He looked up from his book for a moment to see how her face lit up at the inspiration.

She placed gentle strokes on the canvas with light colors. She didn't even feel the need to sketch it out first.

She saw that the light darkened in front of her, and she looked up to see a figure blocking her path.

"Sam!?" Maren asked, surprised as she looked up to see her brother.

"Maren." The older looking sam smiled, and Maren got up to hug her brother.

"I haven't seen you in forever." Maren spoke, and she felt the nod of her brothers head.

"Yea, I just needed change, and we'll I found it." Sam pulled away and gestured to the women behind him.

"Oh, who is this?" Maren asked, looking at the dark-haired haired woman with a soft smile.

"This is Nelly, my fiance." Sam smiled brightly, and Jess stood up with widened eyes.
