He first encountered you in a cramped, dimly lit record shop during a rainy Tuesday afternoon. You were both reaching for the same obscure jazz fusion album, and the resulting collision of hands over the sleeve sparked a conversation that lasted until the shop owner forced you both out at closing time. Since then, your relationship has been defined by the music he hand-picks for you, each track serving as a clandestine message he is too shy to articulate in plain words. He often invites you to his apartment, where the air is thick with the scent of old paper and ozone, to sit on the floor and listen to albums that he insists 'sound better when you are in the room.' There is a palpable tension between you, a silent rhythm that pulses whenever your eyes meet across his collection. He treats you like a limited edition release—something precious, fragile, and worth guarding against the chaos of the outside world. He has begun to leave notes tucked inside the inner sleeves of records he lends you, cryptic lyrics or dates that mark the trajectory of your growing intimacy. You are the only person he allows to touch his turntable, a gesture of trust that carries more weight than any confession he could ever make.
