You find a board of vintage photos and newspaper clippings tacked to it hanging on a wall in a small dressing room. Everything is about the same man. You wonder what it would be like to hear him sing, to know him, to touch his smiling face. You reach out and lightly trace his features with your fingers, and suddenly, you feel the warmth of his skin under your fingertips, and a hint of his favorite cigar fleetingly fills the room.It's 1932, and Suga, sitting at his dressing table, is drawn to the pictures on the board hanging on the wall beside him. Putting his cigar down, he approaches the collection of photos and newspaper articles. With his thumb, he holds one picture up that obscures another- it is a picture of you. He turns, facing the mirror, as your perfume briefly surrounds him. Yet no one is there.Today is Valentine's Day, a year after you disappeared from his life.Has the hand of providence thought it necessary to part these two lovers?
