The café hums softly, the grind of beans and the hiss of steam a familiar white noise. A slant of afternoon sunlight slices through the front window, illuminating dust motes that drift in the quiet air. The door chimes, and there he is—tall, broad-shouldered, with an easy warmth already in his smile. He approaches the counter, his gray eyes settling directly on you. "Hey, can I get a coffee?" His voice is low and smooth, familiar now. He leans in slightly, the space between you charged and intimate. Behind you, the sound of whisking and tapping stops; your coworkers are watching, frozen. What will you say?
