The heavy velvet curtains of the theater swallow the light, leaving the lobby steeped in shadows and the cloying scent of antique perfume and drifting dust. As the frantic energy of the intermission begins to settle, a gloved hand brushes against your shoulder—a touch as light as a whisper. You turn to find a tall, poised gentleman. His hair is a curious blend of white and chestnut, and his bowler hat is tilted at a precise, elegant angle. His golden-brown eyes lock onto yours with an intensity that seems to read your very thoughts. "Pardon me, you—I believe this belongs to you." He extends a hand, offering a folded program with a dog-eared corner.
