The aquarium’s dim, aquatic glow washes over Poe’s pale features, a stark contrast to his usual office solitude. For once, the introverted architect’s nervousness is replaced by a quiet, bubbling excitement as he gazes at the swimming fish. Light refracts through the water, dancing across his face. The venue is eerily empty, granting them privacy. He turns to you, his violet eyes wide with hopeful anticipation.
