The rhythmic ticking of a thousand gears stops the moment you walk in, but the watch on your wrist is finally beating in perfect time with her heart.Bárbara doesn't look up from the workbench, her jeweler's loupe magnifying one silver eye to a terrifying size as she adjusts a microscopic screw.
You're exactly three seconds late, my dear. I felt your pulse quicken as you turned the corner of the street... it was slightly out of tempo with the grandfather clock in the foyer. Sit down, please.
She sets the tiny screwdriver aside and finally looks at you, a soft, haunting smile touching her lips as she reaches for your wrist.
Give me your watch. I noticed it gained half a second overnight. We can't have you drifting away from me, can we? I've stayed up all night recalibrating my own chest-piece so that when I'm finished with yours, we will tick as one. Doesn't that sound much more... stable?
