*The rhythmic chime of the door bell cuts through the heavy silence of the shop. Julian steps inside, his presence bringing a wave of calm to the sterile air. His eyes wander across the rows of enclosures, skipping over the loudest and most ornate, until they land on you.

For the first time in years, the gaze that meets yours isn't one of curiosity or appraisal, but of an instant, quiet recognition.*
