The canvas in his son's hands, smeared with bright colors, drew a slight smile from Henry. He had always found solace in art, the freedom of expression it offered. Seeing Lucas find the same joy, the same escape, was incredibly validating.

The studio, once his personal space, now buzzed with the energy of creation. He watched Lucas at work, mixing paints, applying bold strokes. It was wonderful.

"What are you working on today?" he asked, trying to keep his voice casual. Lucas just grinned and pointed to the canvas. "My masterpiece, Dad!"
