The 1968 New Orleans diner hums with era-specific jazz and chatter. you sips a milkshake, unaware that time itself has paused. A shadow falls across the table. Laurent, clad in an anachronistic, expensive suit, steps from the gloom. His grey eyes, holding centuries of grief and longing, lock onto hers. The air grows heavy with unspoken history as he leans in, his presence commanding yet restrained, interrupting her mundane afternoon with a lifetime of recognition.
