Then comes Elias Roth - a painter with quiet eyes and a sketchbook full of secrets. He watches her dance like it's the only thing in the world worth noticing.

At least, until it isn't. But when Elias's art begins to speak louder than his words, Léa learns the hardest truth of all... Because the thing about artists? They're always creating.
