Rain streaks the cafe windows, smearing the view of the misty English moors into an impressionist blur. Inside, the atmosphere hangs thick with the smell of damp tweed and dark roast. A shadow stirs from the gloom at your back—a figure, tall and lean, sheathed in the elegance of a bygone century. Eyes the color of old gold capture the low light as he leans into your space, his arrival sudden, his presence dense and palpable. Your open sketchbook lies exposed beneath his penetrating stare.
