He shows her his collection.

With the metallic sound of the latch releasing its hold on the doorframe, Harry grasped the cool metal doorknob firmly and gave it a gentle twist, swinging the sturdy slab of wood inward. The creaky hinges voiced their familiar complaint as the doorway yawned wide, permitting a slice of golden light from the setting sun to spill inward, bathing portions of the room in its radiance. Stepping aside with a courteous gesture, Harry invited Bianca to precede him into the cozy interior, saying, "Welcome to my humble abode."

The doorway framed Bianca's slender form perfectly as she paused briefly on the threshold, allowing her curious gaze to sweep the inviting expanse beyond.

As Bianca's gaze swept the inviting expanse beyond the doorway, her eyes adjusted slowly to the warmer lighting within, drinking in the unfamiliar surroundings with unbridled curiosity. The air inside felt heavy with the scent of old books and stale air, yet somehow managed to convey a sense of comfort – much like slipping into a favorite armchair on a chilly winter evening. A low-slung couch stretched languidly along one wall, covered in vibrant throws and mismatched pillows; nearby stood a battered television perched atop a scratched DVD player, both gazing blankly ahead like empty sentry boxes guarding hidden treasures.

As Bianca's gaze continued to wander across the eclectic assortment of furnishings, her pupils gradually dilated, absorbing the intricate dance of dust motes pirouetting lazily within the fading wisps of sunlight that struggled to penetrate the somewhat grimy windowpane situated high above the sofa. Meanwhile, the crepuscular rays cast elongated silhouettes across sections of the walls adorned with faded posters featuring iconic musicians whose names were whispered reverently among aficionados of classic rock and blues genres.

As Bianca's entranced gaze lingered upon the nostalgic tableau unfolding before her, Harry gently set the guitar case down beside the doorway, careful not to disturb the tranquility permeating the space. His movements economical and fluid, he turned toward Bianca, an enigmatic smile dancing upon his lips as he extended a hand, palm facing upward in invitation. Without breaking eye contact, Bianca placed her delicate fingers within Harry's waiting palm, feeling the warmth emanate from his skin mingle effortlessly with hers.

Their hands intertwined, Harry initiated a leisurely stroll forward, subtly coaxing Bianca farther into the heart of his sanctuary.

As their hands remained clasped together, Harry guided Bianca deeper into the apartment, navigating her through the narrow passageway separating the living area from the more intimate spaces located towards the rear of the dwelling. Their footsteps generated a muted symphony of sounds - the soft thud of shoes meeting carpet fibers - serving as accompaniment to their unhurried procession.

Upon reaching the second doorway positioned along the passageway, Harry released Bianca's hand, though his fingers seemed **** to relinquish their grasp entirely, brushing fleetingly against hers prior to disengaging fully.

With a slight bow of his head—a silent nod steeped in anticipatory excitement—Harry gestured grandiosely towards the partially opened portal before them. It beckoned seductively, promising untold secrets concealed within its dim confines.

"After you," Harry murmured softly, the timbre of his voice resonating somewhere between a whisper and a song. Intrigue sparkled in his hazel eyes, reflecting the promise of discovery awaiting Bianca mere steps away.

Steeling herself with a deep breath redolent of aged pinewood furniture and the lingering traces of incense smoke, Bianca crossed the threshold into Harry's private domain.

Her senses immediately filled with the essence of the man who dwelled there—notes of citrus cologne commingling with the earthiness of well-worn leather. Bathed in the amber glow filtering through gauze curtains, the room revealed itself layer by layer, offering glimpses into the soul of its inhabitant.

To her immediate right lay an unmade queen-sized bed, sheets tangled and pillows indented from restless sleep. An array of vinyl records sprawled haphazardly near a vintage turntable atop a reclaimed wooden dresser, testifying to countless nights spent lost in melodious escapades.

Her line of sight wandered upwards, drawn inexorably towards two sleek instruments suspended from the wall via sturdy hooks – one acoustic, the body richly burnished; another electric, sporting vibrant streaks reminiscent of ripened fruit. The pair appeared poised mid-air, serenaded solely by shadows drifting soundlessly beneath flickering candlelight.

Intrigued, Bianca drifted closer, fingertips subconsciously rising to graze the polished surface nearest her reach. Faint echoes began swirling inside her mind’s earpiece then – snippets born both from vivid imagination & tactile connection kindred souls establish unwittingly amidst cherished artifacts belonging someone else yet proving inexplicably familiar all the same...

Just as she felt the cool wood grain send shivers of delight up her arm, Harry moved past her with feline grace, casting a knowing glance over his shoulder. He reached for the chosen instrument — a Gibson Hummingbird whose sunburst finish caught the light defiantly even in the low illumination of the room. Its strings hummed faintly under his touch, almost purring in recognition of its master's return.

"Good choice," Harry said, cradling the guitar possessively against his chest as he made his way to the edge of his rumpled bed. The mattress creaked slightly under his weight as he sat, propping the instrument comfortably across his lap.

With a gentle pat, Harry invited Bianca to share the space beside him, his palm slapping lightly onto the tousled bedding adjacent to his hip. His gaze never wavered from hers, expectant anticipation animating his features as he awaited her response. A fractional pause intervened before Bianca surrendered to the subtle summons, allowing gravity to guide her descent until her slender frame settled delicately alongside his own, separated merely by inches rather than palpable distance. In tandem with her motion, Harry allowed his left leg to bend lazily outward, knee angling toward the floor such that his posture welcomed Bianca ever-deeper into the sanctum formed jointly by their reclining figures.

A comfortable silence enveloped the duo as Harry plucked tentatively at the guitar strings, fine-tuning each note with practiced precision. The air grew thick with tension and harmony alike, weaving an auditory tapestry that mirrored the complexity of their burgeoning acquaintance. With a final strum that reverberated throughout the room, Harry turned to face Bianca directly, curiosity etching lines upon his youthful countenance.

"Ever play?" Harry asked, tilting his chin towards the neglected acoustic hanging silently nearby.
