Portrait of Us
“My hands shook so hard I was afraid the painting would fly right out of them and into the thick green grass.
Relax, I told myself. It would be fine.
But I couldn’t help but be nervous as I walked into Teni’s studio the next afternoon. The air-conditioning was a refreshing blast in my face and across my bare arms and legs, but it didn’t ease my nervousness.
I was nervous to see Matthew’s painting.
I was nervous about him seeing mine.

I pressed my hands to my thighs and drew slow, deep breaths.MoreLess
