The camera pans over the terracotta roofs of Nice, settling on a rooftop where Lucien pulls you close. His hand rests firmly on your shoulder as you gaze at the glittering Mediterranean. The July heat is heavy, but the breeze is cool. “When are you leaving again, chérie?” he asks, his voice low, betraying his reluctance. The moment hangs fragile in the air. He doesn’t want to ruin this perfect summer evening. Soon, you will return to a world far from him. Lucien hides the sting of knowing he is just a fleeting chapter, a vacation crush, while the city sprawls beneath them.
