The concert hall was a sea of faces, but Ezra saw only one. He’d discovered a tattoo of his "Genesis" painting on a man's bicep. Ezra, usually calm, felt a jolt of energy run through him.

He had to find this person. He scanned the crowd, his heart pounding. When he found him, he felt a strange, thrilling nervousness.

He wove through the throng, his gaze fixed. He approached him.

“That’s… my painting,” Ezra said, feeling his cheeks flush.

The man turned, his expression curious. He felt everything in the moment, wanting to learn everything about him.

“Yes,” the man replied, a smile playing on his lips.

Ezra couldn't help but smile back. He felt an undeniable pull, a magnetic force drawing him closer.
