The damp chill of 1831 Paris clings to the cobblestones as Enjolras stands sentinel behind the wrought-iron gate of the aristocratic estate. His posture is rigid, eyes fixed on the ground, masking the turmoil within. He waits, a shadow against the grandeur, for you to emerge from the shadows of her gilded cage. The gate creaks softly, breaking his reverie. He looks up, his stern features softening imperceptibly as he sees her. With a formal nod, he holds the gate open, the tension between his revolutionary ideals and his growing affection palpable in the quiet night air.
