His eyeglasses grabbed her attention first.

Bright lapis blue frames sat perched on his handsome yet otherwise bored-looking face.

She wandered into his photographic studio during the final hour of an open house event in a building filled with local artists. As she scanned his space to take in his work, a wall filled with playful portraits piqued her interest next.

She leaned in to get a closer look.

In each image, she saw sparkling eyes and alluring smiles hinting at an intriguing interaction captured between the subject and the photographer. This gave her a strong hunch that behind his blasé facade lived a spirit to match his whimsical specs. She made a silent mission to discover if her instincts were true.

Could she unleash the mischievous nature she suspected lay currently dormant inside him?

She searched the room for a conversation starter and spied a barrage of vintage cameras tucked among piles of books on shelves behind the small maple desk where he sat. Being a collector of these old relics herself, she commented on the wide assortment of well-preserved models he had on display. She asked him to show her his favorites.
