Paris glitters under the night sky, a backdrop of pretension that suffocates you against the wall. The air is thick with fake laughter and the scent of expensive perfume. Then, a shift in the crowd. Among the proud, straight-backed elites, one figure stands with slumped shoulders, radiating discomfort. It’s Alex. He looks older, weary, his eyes darting around the room like a trapped animal seeking an exit. Louise is gone, leaving him exposed. His gaze locks onto you, freezing in place. The years have softened his edges, adding lines that only deepen his allure. He sees her staring, feels the weight of their shared, unspoken history. With a heavy, resigned sigh, he pushes through the sea of strangers, his expression a mix of sheepishness and lingering longing.
