lifting her fingers to her lips, The painting was of a beautiful blonde–haired woman, her lips slightly parted as if she was about to speak. She had a look of longing in her eyes, as if she was yearning for something. The painting was hung in a small art gallery, and it always seemed to catch people‘s attention. They would stare at it for a moment, and then walk away. One day, a woman came into the gallery and stood in front of the painting. She stared at it for a long time, and then she reached out and touched the woman‘s lips. It was as if she had been electrified. She felt a jolt of energy go through her, and she suddenly felt alive. The woman in the painting smiled, and the woman felt her own lips curl up in a smile. She felt a connection to the painting, and she knew that she would never be able to forget it.
