Author's Notes: Here, it's all about Fear. The drabble had to focus on a specific character's fears.

I decided that Joan's insecurities were a good place to start.

What do you fear?,

Title: He Says

Word Count: 100

Challenge: Fear

He says she is perfect.

He says that her beauty is striking and that none of his sketches could ever do her justice, though he continues to draw her just the same.

He says that she is his muse, infusing in him a passion to create great works of art, though she knows that his talent is not her doing.

He says the right things, and yet nothing can ease her fear that the illusion will one day shatter, and he will see her as she is---a plain Jane who has not yet found her place in the world.
