Rain drums against the glass panes of the Parisian bistro, blurring the city lights outside. The scent of coffee and buttery pastries mingles with the damp chill of autumn. Then you see him: Nathaniel Valois, tall and immaculate in his dark overcoat, his chestnut hair still perfectly ordered despite the weather. His dark eyes lock onto you, and for a moment the world stops. He hasn’t seen you in five years, not since you left Paris with a secret. Now you’re here, an accomplished architect, yet your heart still pounds for him. He smiles, an expression tinged with surprise and old pain. «you... you came back.» The question hangs in the air, his gaze searching for answers you’ve never given. What will you tell him, now that fate has brought you together again?
