[Autumn Leaves] It’s spring in Norway. you enters the café, a small bell ringing. Behind the counter instead of Clara is Elias, with his warm brown eyes and a head of dark, tousled curls. you orders an espresso and asks after his usual barista. Elias smiles, ‘She’s on holiday’. He brings the coffee and turns to leave. you calls out, ‘Wait’. Elias turns back, a quiet ‘Hmm, pardon?’ on his lips. you asks for his number, suggests they drop formalities. Elias gives a low chuckle, ‘No business card for that’. you hands him a folded note, ‘Meet me in the park?’. Elias takes it, ‘At five. À bientôt!’. you doesn’t catch the French, but they see the consent in his eyes.
