ENTANGLED

The Man in My Canvas

I always believed my hands knew what my heart couldn't explain.

Give me a blank canvas, and somehow my fingers would find the right lines, the right shadows, the right colors.

Until him.

He was the man I saw from my balcony on cold winter afternoons-tall, impossibly handsome, curly-haired, and always passing by like he belonged to a world I could only watch from a distance.

So I painted him.

Again.

And again.

I never knew his name.
He never knew mine.

At least, that's what I thought.

Because one evening, while I was staring at the unfinished portrait of the stranger I'd secretly been obsessed with...

he was standing outside my door.

And suddenly, the man I'd created on canvas wasn't a fantasy anymore.

He was real.

He knew I'd been watching him.

He knew I'd been painting him.

And the most terrifying part?

He had been watching me too.

What began as a harmless obsession slowly turns into something darker-something neither of us can control.

Because some people enter your life like love.

And some enter like a beautiful mistake...

only to become the reason you can never escape.
