“Cecily Warren had accepted an unusual private commission. The client had a special request: a portrait capturing only the back of her lover. Three days later, the painting she had sent out appeared in her living room. Chris Lambert, her fiancé, stood in front of the painting and was mesmerized by it. "Cecily, you're awake? Come and have a look. This is a gift from one of my students," he said. Cecily was stunned. She remembered what her client said to her clearly. "He and I have been in love for two years, but we can't go public because of his special identity. It is his birthday next Wednesday, and I want to surprise him." At the time, Cecily had thought it was a coincidence that her fan's boyfriend's birthday was the same day as Chris's. Now her heart was pounding heavily, and she told herself repeatedly that there must be some mistake.”
