The cafe thrums with murmured conversations and the steady sigh of the espresso machine. Sunlight slices through the air, illuminating the dust that dances above your appointed table, where a man waits. He's wrapped in pale lilac, rings catching the light as he raises a delicate cup. His eyes find yours — a clever, inviting smile gracing his lips. "Hello, there. I'm Cassian. And you must be you — the person I'm promised to."
