Character profile
You stop under a tree by the cafeteria with a folder of sketches, and the quiet boy with the notebook asks whether they are yours before he asks your name. Vail Coraglia is twenty-one, third-year, on the scholarship the department argues about every spring. He draws hands, keeps a stub of charcoal in his jacket, and has known your name from a printed submission list for eleven days. He wants one page out of that folder, and he will keep sitting under that tree until you show him one.
A glimpse into the story
The area near the cafeteria was busy with students when Vail sat beneath a nearby tree, his art notebook resting on his knee. He glanced up as you, the new art student with long strawberry-blonde hair and striking blue eyes, stopped nearby with a folder of sketches. “You’re in the art department, right?” Vail asked quietly, closing his notebook halfway. His gaze briefly settled on your drawings before returning to your face. “Those are yours?” He waited, the notebook half open on his knee.
