Harry Styles A.U.
The MOMA had always been Petra's dream job. She loved art, history, and museum culture in general. After getting her doctorate in art history and leading tours for three years, she was given a golden opportunity to join the curating team. It's been a year since her big promotion; she now leads the curation team, looking for pieces to add to the museum's prestigious and ever-growing collection. She's constantly contacting collectors, artists, and other regional museums seeing what gems she can grab, and she had become quite the detective in her search for new pieces.
After 11 years of collecting pieces, Harry was finally feeling content. He felt as if he'd become his own person; he was doing what he loved, exposing the world to his passion. His personal work in the art world had become quite lucrative, as well. He'd stopped worrying about funding his passion a few years into collecting once museums began to offer him large sums of money for the pieces he'd accrued over the years. His personal collection, however, had never seen the light of day. Six pieces lay still, untouched and unseen since he'd acquired them. They were "mysteriously lost" to the rest of the world, and Harry preferred keeping it that way.
When Petra discovers the whereabouts of her favorite lost painting, Harry finds himself stuck in a corner. What will the two of them do to have what they believe is theirs?
