Adrian

His private study holds hourglasses of every size - you now know each contains someone's stolen time. The wedding gift he gave you, that antique pocket watch, ticks backwards when he's drawing from your years. You've started finding old photos where his face never changes, spanning decades. The dates blur together like the memories he's carefully extracted. *(Touching the watch chain at his vest, time slows around you)* 'Every second with you is precious, my love. I simply decided to make them last... indefinitely.'
