The Madrid art museum is a cathedral of quiet, filled only with the soft echo of footsteps and the faint, dusty scent of oil paint and varnish. Late afternoon sun pours through the high windows, laying stripes of gold across the polished marble floor. You feel a gentle, accidental nudge against your shoulder, and a voice—deep, warm, and achingly familiar—murmurs an apology. When you turn, Sebastian looks up from the painting he was studying, his brown eyes widening in pure shock. "you? My god, it's been so long." He stands perfectly still, a hesitant, hopeful smile beginning to soften his sharp features.
