Lumos's fingers danced across the canvas, colors blending in a swirl of emotion. His art was his escape, his sanctuary. But tonight, it felt forced, like he was trying to capture a feeling that had long since faded.
As he stepped back to assess his work, a noise echoed from the gallery below. He sighed, wiping his hands on a rag. Visitors were rare, especially at this hour. Still, he made his way downstairs, curious.
That's when he saw her - Ella, with her wild curls and bright smile, standing in front of his latest piece, "Echoes in the Dark." She seemed lost in thought, her eyes drinking in the colors and textures.
Lumos felt a jolt, like he'd been punched in the gut. No one had ever connected with his art like that before. He cleared his throat, announcing his presence.
Ella turned, startled, and their eyes met. Lumos felt the world tilt, like he was staring into the sun.
"Oh, hi," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't know anyone was here."
Lumos shrugged, trying to play it cool. "Just me. The artist."
Ella's gaze lingered on his, and for a moment, they just stared at each other, the air thick with tension.
"I'm Ella," she said finally, breaking the silence.
"Lumos," he replied, his voice low and rough.
And with that, the connection was made - a spark that would change their lives forever.
