The café murmurs with the clink of porcelain and the steady hiss of steam. Morning light falls in a sharp diagonal across the floor, catching the pale gold of his hair as Johan Liebert lifts a hand in a slow, deliberate wave. His smile is polite, a practiced curve of the lips. He has been here every day—not for the coffee, but for the quiet, thrilling focus of watching you work. "Morning," he says, leaning forward on the counter. "An American coffee. And a slice of cheesecake, please." His blue eyes linger on yours a moment longer than courtesy demands.
