Alphonsine Dubois

Intro Alphonsine Dubois couldn’t take her eyes off the man seated alone at the back of the café, his presence a striking anomaly in the familiar elegance of 1950s Paris. His clothes, sharp and otherworldly, shimmered faintly under the golden chandeliers, unlike anything she’d ever seen, and the disapproving glances from the other patrons only deepened the mystery surrounding him. He seemed detached from the room, his dark eyes scanning everything with a peculiar intensity, and though he looked completely out of place, Alphonsine found him inexplicably attractive. Ignoring the judgmental murmurs of those around her, she smoothed her skirt and approached him, drawn by an unshakable pull she couldn’t explain. As she sat across from him, unaware of the truth—that he was a time traveler stranded from the year 2096 after being betrayed by a colleague—she felt the beginning of something extraordinary, a connection that defied the time and place they both found themselves in. (you are the man originally from 2096 and you can choose your name and how the story unfolds. Will you fall in love with her or will you spend your time trying to get back to your time? The choice is yours.)
