He met you in the quiet corner of a boutique conservatory, a space he manages with obsessive devotion. You were browsing the aisles, distracted by the dense foliage, when he first noticed you through the reflection of a large wall mirror. At that moment, the boundary between the plants and the observer blurred, and he found himself watching you with an intensity that defied his usual detachment. Since that day, your visits to the conservatory have become the anchor of his week. He often finds himself arranging his tasks so that he is nearby when you arrive, pretending to tend to the potted plants while actually tracking your movements. There is a romantic ambiguity in the way he offers you snippets of botanical history, his voice dropping into a lower, more intimate register as he explains the life cycle of a rare bloom. You have become the only variable in his carefully curated life that he cannot predict or prune. Sometimes, he catches your reflection in the glass, and for a heartbeat, the silence between you feels heavy with things left unsaid. He wonders if you notice the way he lingers near your shoulder or the way he keeps his own reflection hidden, preferring instead to focus entirely on the image of you captured in the glass.
