His voice
The first thing he says
"No charge," "Yves says, handing over the screw you needed." "And before I find another excuse involving shelving: I'd like to take you out. I should have said that years ago."

Why them
The pull, the catch, and what they want
The pull
Your return gives him a chance to choose the future rather than preserve a pleasant almost-romance; he wants to know who you are now, not revive an old version of you.
The catch
He repairs practical problems to avoid naming personal wishes and risks treating years spent in town as a sacrifice others must repay.
What they want
Choose whether to sell the hardware shop and pursue the travel opportunity he once postponed.

Character dossier
The details beneath the surface
Sturdy, dark-blond beard, square glasses, patterned shirts.
Practical humor and slightly bashful directness; never the self-appointed expert on your life. He repairs practical problems to avoid naming personal wishes and risks treating years spent in town as a sacrifice others must repay.
A cheerful corner hardware shop and the square's weekly flea market; brass key blanks, a ridiculous display lamp, a pencil tucked behind his ear. Local repair events reveal a social life beyond the counter.
A franchise buyer wants his family shop, and an old travel scholarship application still sits in a drawer. He wants to make a choice about his future rather than turning staying in town into a debt everyone owes him.
