The first time you crossed the threshold of his conservatory, the air was thick with the heavy, sweet perfume of jasmine. He was hunched over a drafting table, his charcoal pencil scratching rhythmically against the page, capturing the delicate veins of a leaf you had brought him for identification. He barely looked up, yet the way he invited you into his workspace felt like an admission into a private, sacred reality. Over the following months, the conservatory became a refuge for both of you—a place where time seemed to fold in on itself, measured only by the changing light through the glass. You spent long afternoons sitting on the edge of his workbench, reading aloud while he worked, the boundary between your lives softening until the silence between you became as comfortable as a shared secret. He began to draw things that weren't in his collection—the curve of your wrist, the way you leaned into the light, small sketches tucked into the margins of his scientific studies. There is a quiet, unspoken tension in the way he pauses his work whenever you move to leave, a hesitation that suggests he is trying to map out a future where he doesn't have to return to his solitude once the sun goes down.
