A black book cover featuring the title “Call It Anything But Love” in gold lettering above a large, ornate heart. The heart is composed of swirling gold floral designs and colorful, stylized insects — like butterflies, dragonflies, and ladybugs — set against the dark background. Below the heart, in smaller text, it reads “Short stories by Amanda Coreishy.”

Five vertical panels each featuring a different image — (1) a warm pastel sky with birds in flight, (2) tall palm trees against a light sky, (3) a pyramid under a dramatic orange glow, (4) a single black wooden chair spotlighted on a dark background, and (5) a close-up of a horse’s muzzle with visible breath. Centered over the panels, stylized text reads “HELLO KOLENA” with a simple sun icon above the text

A close-up, photo-realistic image of a young African-American couple ice skating at night in New York City. The man is gently catching the woman about to fall, their faces close together. His eyes are closed, her eyes are open wide as she looks up at him in surprise. Soft snow falls around them, and the glow of city lights softly illuminates their faces. The background is blurred, suggesting an ice rink and the New York Cityscape, enhancing the romantic and cozy atmosphere.

A close-up shot of a beautiful middle-aged, dark-skinned Black woman standing in front of the kitchen window. The sink was devoid of dishes, and the clock on the wall ticked steadily.

Prompt: His bronze-white face was firm and angular. Stubble hinted at a wildness, controlled. It followed the line of his tailored suit, which held his broad shoulders and lean physique quite deliciously. Her eyes lingered on his big, capable hands before reaching his polished shoes.

I saw him from my perch on the tall stool in the Harlem coffee shop. By the immense, stained-with-age window, I overlooked the wide sidewalk of the busy intersection. The tall, lanky, dirty blond man in a jet-black long wool coat glided into view.
