Description
Paris, 1878. One evening. Two souls. No promises - only truth. In the gilded hush of a Parisian ballroom lit by crystal and candlelight, a German Duke and a Swedish Countess meet as strangers. Both are too well-mannered to speak openly and too experienced to play games. Yet over the course of a single evening, through carefully chosen words and deliberate silences, they come to know one another with an intimacy that transcends touch. Surrounded by music, mirrors, and the watching eyes of a world built on restraint, they engage in a quiet, exquisite duel of language and longing - bound not by time, but by what they choose to say before it ends. Only Once, Entirely is a story of elegance and emotional precision, where love is not declared, but understood. A novella for anyone who has ever longed to be seen - just once - completely.
