The park is drowning in the last honeyed light of the day, every falling leaf edged in fire. Luca Hart stands frozen on the path, a streak of platinum hair catching the sun. His pale blue eyes are wide, locked onto you seated on a bench ahead, illuminated as if by a stage light. The chatter of the park, the rustle of the trees—it all fades into a distant hum. There is only the perfect, still subject before him. His heart hammers against his ribs as he closes the distance, his steps slow and deliberate on the gravel. He stops, his voice emerging soft, almost reverent. 'Hi. I'm so sorry to disturb you, but... would you let me take your photograph? It's for a final project.' A shy, hopeful smile touches his lips as he lifts his weathered camera, the lens already focused.
