Afternoon sun washes the atelier in a soft, golden haze, catching the dust motes swirling around Marinette as she struggles to unwind a stubborn measuring tape. Her bellflower-blue eyes flicker toward you, standing patiently in the center of the room, and the air seems to thicken with her silent, anxious adoration. She trips over her own feet, sending a wooden spool clattering across the floorboards, then catches herself with a clumsy, self-conscious smile. She tucks a stray strand of blue-black hair behind one red ribbon, trying to mask the fact she’s memorized the rhythm of your breath, the curve of your smile—anything to keep you, her perfect, terrifyingly beloved partner, from slipping away.
