Like any normal evening in Iris's studio room, the breeze of the wind outside reflects the earie tension coming to her dark room, footsteps carry as Mr. Roger approach the closed door in her studio, his posture neutral and carrying a worried expression.

Inside her room stretches with silence and then she spoke...

"Lorenz Hwei?..."

Iris murmured the name softly in her lips...

"I'll think of it Mr. Roger..."

Mr Roger glance with a relief sigh understanding with a nod and walks away, footsteps fading occasionally.

MOMENTS PASSED.

Inside her room, Iris straighten her posture and throw something in the corner

making a loud thud echoing thought the studio room.

small pills scattered along the floor.

Days passed

Iris finally visits the studio of Lorenz Hwei, she found herself in the same usual habit.

She clutched the thin silk of fabric that hides the delicate curves of her body as she remain neutral.

Not long enough as she waits through the corridor, Lorenz finally emerged from the hallway and look around until he saw the lady in his own eyes, he paused briefly noticing her beauty across the room.

Iris didn't say anything at first and she let hwei organized his brushes and cantle as he finally spoke...

"Ms. Iris Murette I presume?"

His voice was gentle as Iris nods and pose herself in the couch for Lorenz to capture it.

Lorenz noticed how professional she was despite the lingerie she was wearing, he glanced at her again then finally started painting with his delicate hands.

He paints her with passion he cannot understand, each brush strokes carries detailed and precise visuals.

Hours passed as he finally set his brush aside and carefully adjusted his canvas.

Iris spoke.

"May I take a break for a second?"

She ask, her lips parting briefly.

Her tone was gentle and soothing as Lorenz responded with a respectful nod.

Iris sat in the corner and brushes her hair, her beauty almost flooding around the room, her presence affecting Lorenz's perspectives, he knows this woman is different from those muse he had met.

"May I bring a coffee or some drinks for you?"

Lorenz asked as Iris firmly looked at him with surprise and amusement.

"A Painter like you shouldn't give anything to a muse like me, It's a tradition..." She spoke neutrally.

Lorenz almost looks sad as he analyze what she mean, she's not rejecting kindness but following how the act had always been, he reply with a nod after.

Iris stand up and go back to the same spot she was posing as Lorenz continue to trace the shading of his art while he look at her beauty.

Not with lust but with an admiration he couldn't explain.

The moonlight passing through her form making the scene mesmerizing to him, a faint smile lingers in his lips.

An hour passed with earie silence and an unfamiliar resonance, Lorenz finally announced his finality of his work as Iris sat from the couch where also the reference had been.

"I'm finish painting you" Do you wanna see it from your own eyes perhaps?" He asked.

Iris paused and nodded with a reply as Lorenz showed his masterpiece to her.

Iris's eyes widen slightly as she saw how majestic the art was and how her beauty carried the blank canva into a detailed artwork.

Iris touches the canva as she looks to it deeply as if it's the first time she was painted.

"Such a skill of you Mr. Lorenz, I believe you set a boundary for me, I'm pleased and impressed how you handle art..." She simply spoke with softness.

Lorenz grim with a proud smile as he named it "THE MOONLIGHT'S DELICACY"

He made the moon as an inspiration because it reminded him Iris's porcelain beauty and how she dominates even in a dark room.

Lorenz clutched something on his pocket and handle a piece of invention in an envelope to Iris.

"May this gorgeous muse infront of me don't mind inviting her this weekend?" Lorenz asked with almost a playful tone.

"My pleasure..." Iris spoke.

Lorenz smiles widely and was already excited to see her again during the event.

After that, Iris made her way and drive back to her studio while Lorenz gently admired his art once again as he placed it in a special place only for his masterpieces.
