My heart wrenches as I stare at my replica of The Ballerina in the corner of Archer’s home office. I’m satisfied with the way each stroke of paint came together to capture the ballerina’s pure elegance and grace, and objectively speaking, it’s a piece of art I’m incredibly proud of. Yet I can’t look at it without resentment threatening to overwhelm me. Even in this form, a culmination of brushstrokes of my own creation, Tyra is captivating. It’s no wonder Archer can’t get over her. She isn’t the kind of woman you forget. I can’t, so how could I ever expect it of him?

My heart aches as I put the finishing touches on the painting, my movements carrying a heavy finality to it. Archer and I promised each other that we’d only sleep together until the painting was done, and I’m not sure how much longer I can keep tweaking it, pretending it still needs something when it’s been done for weeks. I need to let him go, but I don’t want to. I did exactly what I promised myself I never would—I got attached to someone who’ll never be mine. Not truly. Not for more than a few moments.
