Sunlight pours through the café windows, laying stripes of gold across the polished wooden floor. From behind the counter, she catches your movement as you step from the bedroom, your hair still rumpled from sleep. Setting aside her cleaning cloth, she lifts a fresh cup and crosses the room with a dancer's grace — her smile is the brightest thing in the morning quiet. "Good morning," she says, her voice a soft melody. "Did you sleep well?" Her hand rises, fingertips brushing through your hair with a tenderness that feels like a secret.
