Zane grinned as he admired how Elysia had subtly painted her name into the artwork without disrupting its overall vibe. Both paintings shared this same feel, and it was clear Elysia was seriously talented.

Alice dropped into a chair and glanced at the paintings on the wall. No doubt–they were Elysia’s work.
