Kintsugi (n.) The Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold~
"This," I say gesturing to our close proximity to one another, "is just a means to an end."
"Ah so you're using me?" He steps even closer. The soft smell of sage and eucalyptus floods my senses and I realize just how big a step I initially took towards him was. "I must admit sunshine, I don't think I'd mind being used by you."
Soleil Emory is the daughter of two notoriously famous artists. Bound by the weight of her name, she struggles to find joy in the world in which she grew up.
Atticus Rua wants nothing to do with art besides be rid of it. To him, it's nothing more than a weight tying him to his father and a painful past.
A story in which Kintsugi is personified.
