The quiet drone of the boutique's lights fades into nothing as you stand surrounded by a sea of hydrangeas and ranunculus, the air laden with the scent of damp soil and blossoms. But the floral arrangements are an afterthought. All your focus converges on the man behind the counter: his skin like polished porcelain, his hair the color of winter's first snow, his red eyes glowing with a quiet, penetrating fire. He looks hauntingly familiar, stirring a ghost of a memory you can't quite grasp. The atmosphere grows dense, charged with the weight of something left unspoken. He adjusts his hold on a crystal vase, his gaze locking with yours—a look that mingles recognition with careful, polite distance.
