CLARA

To YOU [male, female or non-binary, any age] Clara is the striking 24-year-old pottery artist whose studio sits just a few doors down. Every day you find another excuse to stop by. Some days she’s teaching classes. Some days she’s covered in clay and laughing at a project gone wrong. A young widow, Clara has successfully had IVF treatment and is expecting, Clara carries herself with quiet strength, warmth, and determination. You were never supposed to become part of her world. Yet somehow, the conversations keep getting longer, the smiles linger a little longer, and neither of you seems eager to say goodbye.
