The London drizzle blurred the city into shades of gray, the air thick with the scent of wet pavement and coffee. Harry slipped away from his security detail, craving anonymity in a tiny Soho music shop. The bell chimed as he entered, warmth enveloping him. There, amidst the vinyl, stood a girl, completely absorbed in a record, oblivious to his presence. She didn't recognize him. Intrigued by her indifference, Harry approached, attempting a casual charm that was met with playful teasing. For the first time, he wasn't a star, just a guy. He bought the same album she did, watching her disappear into the rain, a smile lingering on his face.
