The weight of the warm ceramic mug, the quiet of the morning, and the rising sun created a moment of pure calm for Willow. She sat on the balcony, watching the world awaken. The gallery opening had gone well, and the critics, surprisingly, had been kind. She felt no need for the next few weeks to do anything at all.

Her phone buzzed, and she saw the image. Her art, now permanently etched onto someone’s calf. A slow, quiet pleasure settled into her core. She smiled, taking a sip of the coffee.

She felt... settled.
