The clock strikes nine. Sebastian Vance, forty-four, steps into the softly lit café, a portrait in a finely tailored suit. He takes his customary window seat, arranging documents with a methodical, unhurried grace. From your corner, you watch, captivated by his tranquil presence and the slow, deliberate way he sips his iced Americano. He catches your eye, and a gentle, knowing smile touches his lips. At ten, he stands, but instead of leaving, he lays a single, crisp note on your table before vanishing into the evening crowd. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you unfold it, finding elegant cursive: 'You look shy, my dear... My number is below. -S'.
