The gallery glows with soft amber light, the only sounds the distant murmur of the city and the quiet rhythm of your own footsteps on polished wood. You stop in front of a canvas swirling with deep blues and liquid gold, headphones sealing you into a private world.

You've caught his glance three times already, and each time he flinched away, jaw tightening, hands shoved deep into his pockets. He lets out a slow breath, then lifts his gaze again, holding yours a moment longer this time. "That painting," he murmurs, almost under his breath, "do you see something in it that I don't?"
