    Summary

    It is unbearable to you, suddenly, that he should fear growing old. That he should fear anything, at all.

    “I’ll take care of you when you’re old,” you promise him, “because you’ll never be less beautiful to me. Even when you’re all grey and hunched over. I’ll even paint you, if you want me to.” And I won’t change your skin, or the curve of your nose, or the color of your hair. When my paintings hang on gallery walls, people will walk past and say, look, there’s Amadeo. My paintings of you will look like you.

    Silly romantic thoughts. Boyish daydreams. Sun setting over Venice, painting Amadeo gold.
