Can time fix the mistakes of the past?

Cristian West, a famous artist, doesn't understand why his mind is haunted by an image of a very beautiful woman. He sees her constantly in his thoughts and feels as though he knows her. One day, during an exhibit of his new masterpiece, he sees the woman that he thought only existed in his mind in the flesh. What Cristian doesn't know is that the past and the present are about to collide and his life will never be the same again.

The coven looked at each other in amazement as Sage moved among the crowd trying to get a better view. Upon seeing the portrait, she was stunned at seeing the likeness of herself. Her eyes then shifted to Cristian who turned back around smiling. Her jaw dropped as her eyes widened. “It can’t be,” she said astonished. She stood frozen like a statue as she looked at Cristian who bore a striking resemblance to her lost love. Cristian turned his head looking into the crowd when his eyes fell upon Sage who was staring at him. His body began to tremble as his throat went dry and his mouth dropped open. “Oh my God” he said as he stared at the incarnation of the woman who haunted his mind. She was real. It seemed as though time had stopped while Cristian and Sage stood still with their eyes locked into each other. Anna grabbed her arm. “We need to get out of here,” she said pulling her toward the door as the coven, fearing exposure, began to make a quick exit. Realizing that he wasn’t hallucinating, Cristian yelled, “wait!” as Anna continued to yank Sage who couldn’t take her eyes off Cristian away from the scene. "Wait!" Cristian yelled running down from the podium. “Please!” he yelled as he pushed his way through the crowd while they whispered and strained their necks to see whose attention he was trying to obtain.
