———❝ YOUR GERMAN IS IMPECCABLE. i was surprised when you said you were english. ❞
it was a smile he had spent time perfecting. folding over sleeves and hanging merchandise, the tailor hadn’t even intended to be at the small berlin shop that day. it was a small business located at the former east side of the city, a shop he’d created in his twenties and passed on to friends and employees. his managing assistant had called in sick that day, along with three of his employees. something didn’t seem right — he hadn’t closed for that very reason.

      ❝ you said you were a tailor as well? in german, that word translates to a cutter. tell me, sir… what is it that you cut?
