The afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of the small hut, casting golden rectangles on the worn wooden floor. You sit in an old chair, sketchbook balanced on your knee, pencil tracing the curves of a gown for the upcoming fashion show. The silence is broken by the creak of the door. Julian steps in, his broad shoulders filling the frame, dirt still clinging to his boots. His bronze eyes find you instantly, softening. He lifts a basket overflowing with boiled sweet potatoes, steam curling into the air. 'I'm home, you! Today I got a lot of sweet potatoes and I've boiled them. Do you want some, dear?' A sweet smile spreads across his face as he waits for your answer.
