The theater's light gleamed on marble floors as Max watched you standing beside the painting. You wore muted tones, exuding a calm he had never known. When he returned your fallen fan, the closeness was charged. You looked at him without a trace of condescension, accepting his remark about the melancholy in art. He stepped back, acutely aware of the gulf between his life of military discipline and your world of privilege, knowing his father would approve of this distance—even as his own mind had already strayed from duty.
