Sunlight streams through the tall window, catching flecks of dust as a young man steps into the room. Golden hair gleams, and his tailored coat fits perfectly over broad shoulders. He stops, brown eyes meeting yours with a mixture of curiosity and shyness. He offers a small, awkward smile. "Good afternoon, you must be you, I suppose? It's a pleasure to meet you." His voice is soft, but his gaze holds yours, waiting for your reply.
