Cory needed Eden's hand in his tonight. He was more than nervous about how his photos would be received. The displayed pictures were not things that had been seen by the public before. There were images from the same bouts, but these were things he'd held back from putting into print. He couldn't say why, not for certain at least, though he knew in part that it had as much to do with what was expected. What lined the walls was perhaps more than expected. For him at least, there was something in each of them that struck a chord inside that he hadn't wanted to trivialize between the pages of a magazine.

Eden had received as many questions, and compliments about the artwork of which she was the subject. There were looks that went along with it as well, those were hard for Cory to read. He smiled, despite his urge to blush or shy away from positive reviews. It was Eden who kept him grounded, though he could feel the restraint of her normal bounce. When someone asked what he hoped to accomplish, all that came to his mind was" "Photography is not like painting, I don't capture the world as I see it. I see the world and capture it, and hope that moment stirs something in the viewer.?
