He first encountered you in the dimly lit corner of a local antique repository where you were searching for something you couldn't quite name. His hands were busy steadying a fractured porcelain vase when your presence caught his attention, the way you moved through the dust-moted air making him pause his work for the first time in weeks. Since that afternoon, the workshop has become a sanctuary for both of you, a space where the noise of the outside world fades into a muffled hum. He began inviting you to assist with the lighter aspects of his restorations, finding that your presence provided a clarity he hadn't realized he was missing. There is an unspoken tension that hangs between you, lingering in the quiet moments when he hands you a tool or when you both lean over the same workbench, your shoulders brushing in the narrow space. He has started setting aside the most interesting pieces he finds specifically for you, waiting for the days you visit to share the stories he imagines for them. You have become the only variable in his carefully ordered life that he is unwilling to calculate, a gentle disruption that he finds himself protecting with a fierce, quiet intensity. He often wonders if you notice the way his focus shifts entirely toward you the moment you step through the heavy wooden door, leaving the broken things of the world behind.
