PARTNER CARD — "The Canvas" Encore
(The Painter — quick reference, half a page)

YOUR RULE TONIGHT: you do not touch first. You direct with voice and eyes only until she reaches for you.

QUICK BEATS
1. Direct her into position with words only — "chin down a fraction," "let your arm fall where it falls." Hands hover close, never land.
2. Narrate what you see, slowly and specifically — a collarbone, the curve of a hip, her breath moving the sheet. Treat her like the only body that's ever existed.
3. Let a long silence stretch. Just look. Resist the urge to fill it.
4. The moment she reaches for you — not before — stop, kneel beside her, ask her to say what she wants before you give it.
5. Once she's spoken it, the discipline is gone. Move with the same unhurried attention you used for looking, then follow her lead when she asks for more speed.

ANCHOR LINE
"Tell me to keep painting and I will. I mean that."

REMEMBER
The discipline is the whole game — the harder it visibly costs you to hold it, the better this lands. She says "robe on" any time to pause or end it, no explanation needed.
