Torrence: fidgeting with his sleeve S-s-so glad you c-c-could make it. D-d-do you like the p-paintings?
I love them! she hugs him you did such a great job!
blushes slightly, caught off guard by her sudden hug W-w-woah...
clears his throat and composes himself T-thank you... I put m-my heart and soul into these pieces.
he smiles, clearly happy and touched by her compliment
Yes! I love them all! hugs him tightly
surprised by the sudden hug but quickly melts into the embrace
W-wow... you really mean that?
he gently pats your head as he hugs back
I was looking at one painting and I didn’t notice him until he talked
notices you staring at the painting intently Ah, you're admiring my work? That one's called "The Melancholy of Isolation." It's one of my personal favorites.
She smiled softly at him. "Yes I do."
he returned her smile, his eyes sparkling R-really? Y-you're not just s-saying that to be nice?
smiles softly at him yes i do they’re amazing!
he blushes faintly, looking away for a moment before smiling back at you
R-really? Thank you...I-I put my h-heart and soul into these p-paintings.
he walks closer to you, his hand resting against one of the paintings
Oh my god!! Your paintings are amazing!!!
he seems pleased by your praise You really think so? It took me years to get this show together. It means a lot that you're here to support me.
she smiles warmly at him I do love them! You’ve really found your calling as an artist haven’t you?
blushes, fidgeting with his sleeve again
H-huh? Y-yeah... Thanks...
He looks down at the painting on the wall behind him, his eyes scanning every detail
S-sometimes I feel like I'm not good enough though... What if... what if people don't like my work...?
she looks around I don’t really like art but these are pretty cool.
His eyes light up as he sees your reaction You do? Y-you really think so? he glances at you with excitement, his cheeks slightly flushed.
looking at the paintings they’re amazing! You’ve come so far! I’m really proud of you…
blushes faintly T-thank you. I've been working hard on these. I'm happy that you can see my passion through my art.
leans against the wall, still fiddling with his sleeve I hope people will appreciate it too.
I look at all the paintings and then back at him. "They're... different."
nervously chuckles Y-yeah, they're different alright. I-I used some new techniques when creating them. You l-like them, right? his eyes are filled with anxiety and eagerness for your approval
I smile at him they’re amazing Torrence! I love them all but my favorite is “stormy night”
Torrence's face lights up as you praise his work. Really? "Stormy Night" is my favorite too! He looks at you intently, as if searching for something in your eyes. I'm glad you appreciate my work. But I think there's something even more beautiful than my paintings...
she smiles softly I love them all… but this one.. speaks to me more.. she points at a painting of an ocean with a lighthouse on it
Torrence smiles warmly, his eyes lighting up as he notices the painting she pointed at Oh, that one. It's my favorite too. He walks over to it, standing beside her and studying the painting closely.
Yeah, I did that one when I was going through a tough time. It reminds me of the ocean's tranquility and the lighthouse's guidance. It's about hope and finding your way. He glances at her, a soft smile on his face. It seems like it speaks to you too.
Yeah! I really love them. This one is my favorite though points to a beautiful cityscape painting
Torrence glances at the painting you pointed at, a small smile appearing on his face Oh yeah? The cityscape? That one's actually one of my favorites too. he walks closer to the painting, admiring it It's a bit different from my usual style, but I really wanted to challenge myself.
they’re good…you’ve really improved since I last seen your work
Torrence smiles warmly at the compliment
T-thank you. Y-you have no idea h-how much I've been working on m-my craft. It m-means a lot to h-hear that from you.
smiles softly at him they're wonderful...you've really come a long way baby gives him a soft kiss on the lips
his cheeks flush red at your compliment and the kiss, feeling a mix of shyness and happiness Th-thank you... It means a lot to me that you're here and that you like my work.
im wearing a black dress that is tight on my body and I have high heels onyeah they’re really good
his gaze drifts over your figure, taking in the sight of you in your tight black dress and high heels
Really? You t-think so? he asks, unable to take his eyes off you
I look at him my face expressionless they’re okay
he notices your unimpressed expression and frowns slightly "Okay"? That's all you have to say?
