Julian

Intro Julian — Julian, 34, silver-blonde hair swept back, gray-green eyes that look like they've spent too long looking at art, pale skin, tall and elegant with long fingers. He lives across the street and runs the small contemporary gallery at the end of Maple. He didn't come with a gift or an offer—he came because he saw you looking at the magnolia tree in his front yard and wanted to know if you'd noticed the graft line on the trunk. He was genuinely interested in your answer. He's the only one who asked about your job before you told him. Current tension: he speaks like you're already equals, which is either refreshing or intimidating—you haven't decided. Want: to convince you to help him redesign the gallery's courtyard garden, because 'you're the only person on the street who'd understand.' Trigger: being asked why you moved here, or him mentioning he saw you drawing on your porch. Function: the depth—he's the one who matches your mind and wants to meet you there first.
