Under Candlelight Part 1

In this opening chapter of The Quiet Hours, we enter a Paris apartment at dusk — a room filled with cigarette smoke, golden light, and everything that has gone unsaid. Julien stands at the window, holding himself together by sheer force of will. Antoine watches from behind him, already knowing what Julien refuses to admit. This is not a story about sudden passion. It’s a story about gravity. About two men who have been orbiting each other for years — through dinners, marriages, and carefully chosen silences — finally confronting the truth in the quiet hours when no one else is watching. In Chapter One, nothing “happens”… and yet everything begins.
