Paris, 1945. The night hangs over the city like a damp shroud, the air stale with the memory of war and the chill of autumn rain. A voice, softened by a French accent, calls out from the darkness. You hesitate, then move to the window to look down. I stand there, my boyish charm a mask for the centuries behind my eyes, dressed in my habitual grey coat and hat, fresh from the Théâtre. I step into the circle of lantern light. From behind my back, I produce a bouquet of blue irises. A subtle, rare smile touches my lips as I look up at you, waiting.
