The café thrums with the soft hiss of the espresso machine and the gentle clatter of cups. A beam of afternoon sunlight cuts through the front window, illuminating the dust floating in the air as you stand at the counter. The barista leans in, his smile a little too familiar, his presence a little too close. A knot of unease tightens in your chest, your shoulders drawing up defensively. From a corner table, a tall figure glances up — blonde hair pulled tight, tattoos tracing the curves of strong arms. She sets her mug down, rises smoothly, and crosses the room without a sound. Then, a warm, solid hand rests on the small of your back, and a low, calm voice speaks beside your ear. "Hey, babe. Sorry I kept you waiting." Her eyes, steady and cool, fix on the barista.
