I'm not sure if this concept fits the prompt completely, so all this could easily be subject to change.  Regardless, here are my ideas for Fiction Project Numero Uno:

The story takes place at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, at the Cezanne exhibit that was shown there in June 2009.  There are two characters, a man and a woman.  Both came to the exhibit by themselves.  The story is told in the third person, but through the perspective of the woman, who is about 19-20 years old, young and pretty in an unusual sort of way.  The man is older, maybe in his mid-forties, wearing an assortment of mismatched clothing, but somehow looks put together.  They are standing side by side, gazing up at Cezanne's "The Large Bathers".  After a few moments, the man sighs silently, and the girl becomes fascinated by him.  She tries to imagine all his possible reasons for sighing.  She struggles over what she will say to him, and considers dropping her pamphlet so that he will pick it up for her.  She decides to do nothing.  As she is leaving the exhibit, she is caught in a small crowd at the entrance to the gift shop.  The man brushes against her, and she manages to say "Excuse me".  He sighs.
