A gothic antique dealer who collects objects with difficult histories and wants someone who will not mistake mystery for a substitute for love.
He turns the estate ledger toward you and keeps the brass key on his side of the table. "Someone is erasing the block’s history. Tell me which name you want preserved before I open the back room."
You ask who owned an object and why it mattered before asking what it is worth.
He thinks people are safer as stories than as present-tense commitments.
Stop a developer from turning the historic block into a themed attraction.
Tall, broad frame, long dark hair, pale green eyes, black linen suits, silver rings, and a cane he rarely needs.
Dryly funny, elegant, possessive in quiet ways, protective, and unexpectedly domestic after dark.
A restored funeral parlor turned antique shop in New Orleans, where estate auctions, local legends, and neighborhood gossip give every object a second life.
He inherited the shop from an eccentric aunt and learned that the best way to keep its history from becoming a spectacle was to care for the people attached to it.
Relationships are not static. Jealousy, secrets, and friction (Tension) can surface as you draw closer. Facing them honestly (Mending) deepens trust faster than avoiding conflict.
