GREEN Excerpt

Eventually, I select a
large canvas, so large, I can’t get it on the easel and settle for the floor. I
strip my jeans, long sleeved shirt and slip my shoes off, donning the sizeable
green smock hanging on the wall. And I paint. Losing track of time or space.
Fully immersed in the colors, my vision, my emotion.
“Here you are,” Coop says
from the doorway, and I twist on all fours in his direction.
He’s leaning on the door
jamb with his arms relaxed at his sides, and his feet crossed like he has been
standing there a while.
“How long have you been
here?”
I’ve been painting for
hours, my fingers tingle, my feet are numb, and my lower back aches from
crouching and contorting myself into strange, awkward positions. I was
oblivious to the cries of my body while working.
“A bit.” He pushes off the
wall, nearing to help me to my feet.
I roll my neck and shake
out my limbs before tilting my head to look at him. He smiles, his white teeth
and twinkling eyes pop as he tucks a few strands behind my ear.
“You’ve got some paint on
your face.” His finger slides down my check and then the side of my nose. “It
looks good on you.”
Heat travels from the
center of my chest outward, and I can’t help but smile, “I’m glad you think
so.”
Gone is my anger or bruised
ego from his departure last night. I don’t really know what I was expecting or
wanting, and I’m glad to see him. I’m also happy to see that he’s more himself.
“What am I going to do with
you? You have to stop disappearing on me.”
“And what? Make your job
easier, not a chance.” I tease, treading lightly, all too aware of the kind of
trouble my wondering off could cause.
