Ethan Walker stood amidst the busy art gallery, his gaze scanning the paintings and sculptures adorning the walls. The gallery was packed, with elegantly dressed people whispering in approval of the artwork exhibited. Ethan hardly caught what they were saying. His thoughts were not present, as they frequently were recently, wandering to past memories he wanted to erase.
He inhaled deeply, attempting to concentrate. He came to show his support for his friend Mark, who had strongly encouraged him to come to this art exhibition. Mark firmly believed that Ethan should socialize more and let go of the past that continued to trouble him.
Earlier, Mark mentioned that you're still fixated on Ava. "Ethan, you must release it." It has been three years.
A span of three years. It seemed like forever and yet no time had passed since Ava disappeared from his life without a word, creating a void that Ethan couldn't fill. He attempted to progress, but memories kept pulling him back whenever he believed he was prepared.
He was distracted from his thoughts when he noticed a painting at the other end of the gallery. It was a basic artwork, a depiction of a solitary beach during sunset, yet there was something about it that captivated him. Upon approaching, he observed a petite autograph in the lower corner belonging to Lena Dawson.
"Isn't it lovely?" a gentle voice asked from his back.
Ethan looked back and saw a woman standing with a kind smile on her face. Her hair was dark and cascaded in gentle waves around her shoulders, while her eyes appeared to reflect the sunlight of the setting sun in the artwork. She wore a plain outfit, a dress that draped loosely over her body.
"Yes, it is," Ethan responded, his tone betraying more enthusiasm than he actually had. "Are you the creator?"
The woman agreed with a nod. "I exist." My name is Lena Dawson.
"He said his name was Ethan Walker as he reached out his hand." "Your work is amazing." This painting... it seems to have a life of its own."
"Thanks," Lena murmured, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. "I'm happy that it connects with you." I create art with my emotions. It's great to be aware that someone is able to perceive that.
As they started conversing, Ethan felt attracted to Lena's sincerity and warmth. She was a great conversationalist, and before long, they were chatting about art, life, and everything else. Ethan couldn't recall the last time he had been so relaxed. At the end of the night, he was left wanting to get her phone number.

"Ahh!" She was in a moaning mess. She did not want to feel anything for this man. She hated him. His hands began to move all over her body. She gasped when he pulled down the back chain of her dress. The chain stopped at her lower waist, so when he zipped it off, her upper back and waist were exposed. "D-Don't touch m-ummm!" His fingers rolled around her bare back, and she pressed her head against the pillow. His touches were giving her goosebumps all over her body. With a deep angry voice, he whispered in her ear, "I am going to make you forget his touches, kisses, and everything. Every time you touch another man, you will only think of me." - - - Ava Adler was a nerdy omega. People bullied her because they thought she was ugly and unattractive.
