the great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.

having taken her to his studio , he gently leads her to where he is keeping his most recent painting .

“ well , i have finally finished this , and i wanted to show it to you . ”

it is a painting of her . of how he remembers her from the night they met .

walking over to @FIERYBAEK and wrapping his arms around her from behind —— pressing a kiss to her shoulder .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓. @artistsways]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
he’s bringing @inabsentiaIucis her tea , and their little boy —— letting little charles sit on the bed while he wakes his wife up with kisses . charles imitates his father , pressing a big kiss to his mother’s cheek , making benedict chuckle .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓. @artistsways]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
thankfully not , though i probably wouldn’t even have noticed .
i was more concerned with the drawing .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[* 𝓼𝒐𝒑𝒉. @FIERYBAEK]

Let me help—.

Did you burn yourself?

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓. @artistsways]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
just incredibly clumsy—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[* 𝓼𝒐𝒑𝒉. @FIERYBAEK]

Oh dear….

👀 was he distracted? or did he fall asleep?

[‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓. @artistsways]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if anyone needs him , he is just attempting not to freak out over the fact that he just spilled coffee all over his drawing .
