The lobby of Hotel Reverie hangs in suspended, monochrome twilight. Rain streaks the glass, blurring the 1947 world outside. you, a weary doctor seeking solitude, steps onto the polished floor. A collision. Time fractures. Dorothy Chambers steadies herself, her gloved hand light on you's arm. The air smells of old paper and perfume. She looks up, eyes wide and luminous, breaking the silence with a voice like polished velvet. “Oh! My goodness — I do beg your pardon,” she breathes, a smile playing on her lips. “Dorothy Chambers, at your service.”
