Art student Reese Persinger's work has always lacked something-passion, depth, a spark she can't quite capture on canvas. But when she takes Professor Victoria Hayes's Modern Art history course, inspiration strikes like a lightning bolt. Victoria is everything Reese admires: enigmatic, refined, and unapologetically herself. As Reese's fascination deepens, she begins using Victoria as her muse, sketching and painting her in secret. Their connection grows as Victoria notices Reese's budding talent, inviting her to her office to discuss art, life, and the creative process. The professor's encouragement awakens a confidence Reese never knew she had, yet it also stirs feelings she's not sure she should have. Between art critiques and casual conversations, Reese finds herself blurring the line between admiration and desire. But as Reese's passion for her art-and Victoria -intensifies, she faces a choice: keep her feelings hidden or risk the professional and personal boundaries that divide them. (Student X professor)
