Rain turns the cobblestones of High Street into a river of reflected gaslight in the year 1925. The air is thick with the scent of damp wool, cheap cigars, and linseed oil as you step from the art supply shop. A sudden impact sends your leather-bound sketchbook spinning across the wet pavement. A man—impossibly tall, dark-haired, wrapped in the fine wool of a tailored overcoat—halts, stoops with a fluid grace, and retrieves it. He offers it back with a slight, formal inclination of his head. "Watch your step, dreamer," he says, his voice a low thrum. "This city has a habit of making beautiful things disappear." His hazel eyes lock onto yours, holding them a moment longer than propriety allows.
