Tyler had witnessed the transformative power of Axel's art therapy firsthand.
It had helped him process his grief, find solace in creativity.
Now, Axel was using his art therapy to help Lily heal.
"Lily, I want you to create something that represents your feelings," Axel said, his voice gentle.
Lily's eyes sparkled as she began to paint.
Her brushstrokes were bold, expressive, as she poured her emotions onto the canvas.
Tyler watched, mesmerized, as Lily's art unfolded.
It was a beautiful, messy, and imperfect reflection of her soul.
As Lily painted, Axel offered guidance, support.
His art therapy was a safe space, a sanctuary for Lily to express herself.
Tyler realized that Axel's art therapy was not just about creating art – it was about healing, growing.
It was about finding solace in creativity, comfort in self-expression.
As the session came to a close, Lily stepped back, admiring her art.
"It's beautiful," Tyler whispered.
Lily's smile radiated. "It's me."
Axel's eyes shone with pride. "You're an amazing artist, Lily."
Tyler wrapped his arms around Lily. "You're amazing, period."

It had given her a voice, a way to express her emotions.
As they left the studio, Tyler knew:

The next day, Tyler and Lily sat on the beach, watching the sunset.
"Lily, I'm so proud of you," Tyler said, his voice filled with emotion.
Lily's eyes sparkled. "Thanks, Tyler."
Tyler's heart swelled. "You're an amazing person, Lily."
Lily's smile radiated. "You're not so bad yourself, Tyler."
