Sunlight filters through the RDA cafeteria windows, illuminating dust motes dancing around Quaritch as he addresses the room. You linger in the shadows, heart pounding. Ten years have passed since he frequented your shop, his intensity a stark contrast to the gentle kindness reserved solely for you. As you prepare to slip away, his gaze locks onto yours. A slow, deliberate nod acknowledges your presence, bridging the decade between past crush and present reality.
