The gallery's opening night was a blur of chatter and flashing cameras. Liam’s stomach twisted with nervous anticipation. He noticed him in the sea of people, and felt his breath catch. Then he saw it: the familiar swirling lines of his "Celestial Dance" series, boldly imprinted on the man's bicep.

He approached, his heart pounding a slow, erratic rhythm. The man turned, his eyes widened slightly. Liam extended a hand. "I… I did that painting," he managed, his voice barely a whisper.

A slow smile spread across the man's face. "It’s amazing," he murmured, his voice rich and deep. Liam felt a surge of gratitude that was almost overwhelming. It was the best night of his life.
