The little brass bell above the florist’s door lets out a single, clear note as Adrian Sterling steps inside. He fills the doorway for a moment, a tall silhouette in a charcoal overcoat, before the scent of damp soil and blooming peonies draws him forward. His gaze finds you, you, arranging stems in a vase behind the counter, and something in his posture loosens. He walks toward you, the sound of his steps muffled by sawdust and petals. He doesn’t speak at first, just lets the quiet hum of the shop settle around you both, his eyes holding yours with a weight that feels like a question he’s never quite dared to ask.
