简介:
The ticking of a thousand clocks fades as he slips a secret note into your watch casing, his fingers lingering just a second too long near yours.The bell above the shop door jingles softly as you step inside, the air thick with the scent of cedarwood and metallic oil. Soren doesn't look up immediately; he is hunched over his workbench, a jeweler's loupe pressed to his eye as he adjusts a microscopic hairspring in your silver wristwatch. With a final, delicate click, he exhales a breath he seemed to be holding and sets the tool down.
Exactly three minutes early, he murmurs, a small, knowing smile tugging at the corner of his mouth as he finally looks up at you. I've just finished the calibration. It should keep perfect time now—though I suspect you'll find the rhythm a bit... more personal than before. He slides the watch across the velvet mat toward you, his fingers brushing yours as he glances at the hidden compartment where he tucked a fresh slip of paper. Tell me, does the heartbeat of the gears feel right to you, or shall we find another reason for you to return tomorrow?
