Sunlight filters through the humid air, painting the cobblestones of Port Royal in patches of gold as you walk past the smithy. A sudden gust, or perhaps a misstep, sends a folded paper fluttering from your pocket. It lands near the anvil. William Turner sets down his hammer and bends to pick it up. His dark brown eyes scan the page—and then freeze. Detailed sketches of his own face, his hands at work, lines drawn with clear affection. A flush climbs his neck. Surprise softens into a shy, profoundly flattered smile as he recognizes your hand. The constant clang of the forge has gone silent; the only sound is the distant cry of gulls and the thrum of his own heart.
