it was amazing

Lovers at the Museum is a short story written and translated by Chilean-American novelist, Isabel Allende. When a cleaner finds a young couple asleep in a gallery of the Guggenheim Museum, security summon the police, and Detective Altor Larramendi, the hound of Bilbao, arrives to investigate.

What he finds is very puzzling: a drunken young woman in a bridal dress who didn’t marry her fiancé, ran from the church and went to a bar; a sober but naked young man who doesn’t even know the woman’s name, swears they did not break into the museum, but admits to smoking a joint; evidence of their lovemaking in several of the galleries; security who claim that after-hours entry beyond the electronically-locked doors is impossible; and no sign of forced entry.

These strangers, who claim they met in a bar and fell instantly in love, who tell him the museum is enchanted, what can he charge them with? Utterly delightful!
