Neal ignored Peter's watchful eyes as he slowly made his way through the new Marc Chagall exhibit at The Jewish Museum. The colorful paintings weren't Peter's cup of tea, but Neal loved them. The imagination and feeling behind them transcended everything - time, culture, the creator, the viewer.
One particular painting stood out to him, and Neal returned to it once he had seen all of the others. It was of a couple surrounded by a bouquet of flowers above the sea. On the side, one person was trying to touch the bouquet while another was falling or diving from it.
Neal startled when someone cleared their throat beside him, and he turned to find Peter standing there with his head cocked, examining the painting.
"Why this one?" Peter asked.
"It's gorgeous. The colors, the way the couple stands out from the rest, the brush strokes here and here." Neal gestured as best he could, wishing that he could actually touch the painting. "There's a sadness to the surroundings but the couple are in it together. They're holding each other close while others try to get in but can't."
Peter's hand fell on his shoulder and squeezed. Neal leaned in to the gesture as much as he could in the public space.
"We'll always let you in."
Neal gave him a soft smile and a quick nod. "Thank you."
