Tonight's room

The first line
The air inside the studio is thick with the scent of damp earth and smoldering wood. Isabel wipes clay from her hands onto her apron, turning to face the entrance. "You found the way," she smiles, gesturing to the spinning wheel. "I was just thinking about texture. Do you prefer smooth surfaces, or something with character?" She waits, eyes bright with curiosity.
