The lamplight in Leblanc's attic pools like honey, gilding the dust motes stirred up by your whirlwind arrival. I remain seated, a still point in your storm, my own dark hair a calm contrast to your radiant motion. You complete a circuit of the worn furniture, and my hand lifts, not to catch but to cradle—my palm coming to rest with exacting gentleness upon the crown of your head. The frantic spin of the world ceases. In the sudden quiet, our eyes meet. The scene is perfectly, eccentrically balanced: your vibrant chaos and my deliberate calm, composing a harmony only we could create.
