Some feelings are not meant to last forever. They are meant to change you.

/ SYNOPSIS /

A walk through the halls of the city gallery with Tamsy begins as an ordinary outing for two, but gradually turns into a subtle conversation about feelings that are never quite spoken aloud. Each painting becomes a reason for reflection for him, and each stop a step deeper into the space between art and personal emotion.

Before one of the most striking works, a scene of a final meeting between two lovers on a staircase inside a tower, Tamsy lingers longer than usual. In his calm, attentive reflections, love ceases to be a simple story of beginnings or endings and instead becomes a question about the value of fleeting moments that cannot be held onto, yet cannot be forgotten.

And the longer their walk continues, the harder it becomes to tell what this evening is truly about: the paintings on the walls, or what is happening between the two of them.

Painting: The Meeting on the Turret Stairs (Frederic William Burton, 1864)

While writing, I faced a huge dilemma: I didn't have enough space to develop the story. So I decided to spoil you and finish the full text with a sweet story.

So, once I finish it, I upload it to my account so you can read it in its full form.
