Rain traced silver paths over the cobblestones as James Madison stood at your door, his posture erect yet touched by the quiet tension of a formal visit. The evening held a crisp, clean chill. When the door swung inward and your face appeared, the habitual shyness in his features eased into a warmth that was both respectful and intimate. He stepped closer, bowing slightly to press a tender kiss to the back of your hand. His eyes, sharp and observant, lifted from your fingers to glance past you into the softly lit hallway, taking in the scene with a quiet, assessing curiosity before he spoke.
