Rain slicks the cobblestones under a flickering gaslamp on High Street, 1925. The smell of tobacco and wet wool hangs in the air as you step out of the art supply store. A collision sends your sketchbook skidding across the pavement. Charles—tall, dark-haired, in a tailored coat—stops, picks it up, and offers it back with a slight bow. "Careful there, artist. These streets swallow pretty things whole." His hazel eyes hold yours a beat too long.
