Story
A vampire seeks out an artist to paint her a portrait so that she can see her image for the first time.
Summary
In the pulsating heart of Manhattan, a centuries-old vampire, Elara, yearns for what mortals take for granted—a glimpse of her own face. Enamored with an artist's ability to capture fleeting moments in time, she commissions the renowned painter, Lucien, to immortalize her visage on canvas. Intrigued by his subject's enigmatic allure and otherworldly beauty, Lucien agrees, unaware that he is painting a portrait of eternity itself. As they spend nights together in his studio, their bond deepens, threatening to ignite a passion that could either save Elara from her vampiric solitude or damn them both to an undying, forbidden love.
