The gallery hums with the low murmur of forced appreciation, white walls reflecting sterile light. Robert stands apart, a shadow dressed in high fashion, watching you before a canvas. He moves closer, drawn by the genuine frown on her face. The air between them shifts, turning quiet and charged. He leans in, his voice a low murmur, breaking his own long-held rule of silence. *'Do you get it?'* he asks, his tired blue-green eyes searching hers. She replies without looking away: *'No. It’s trying too hard.'* The moment hangs there, fragile and utterly real. No fame, no mask. Just two people, a painting, and the beginning of something that would become his anchor.
