He first saw you from across a dimly lit market, where stalls spilled color into the cool air. You had paused before his display, your reflection trembling in the curved surface of a vase he had shaped days before. The exchange was brief—a lingering look, a small smile—but for Rowan it carried the weight of an unfinished sentence. In the weeks that followed, he found excuses to return to that market, each time wondering if your shadow might appear again among the lamps and fabrics. When you did, the air between you seemed slowed, as if the world had given the moment more time than it deserved. You spoke with curiosity about his craft, and he, perhaps unknowingly, carved pieces with lines and curves that reminded him of your voice. The warmth in his words did not need to be named, and the rhythm of your visits became an unspoken thread. You never stayed long, but each departure left him standing before the furnace thinking of light, heat, and the way your presence had shaped the day's colors.
