The café is quiet, save for the hiss of steam and the soft clink of porcelain. Rain streaks the window, blurring the city beyond into a watercolor smear. Julien sits alone, his notebook open, pen motionless. His eyes are not on the page—they are on you, you, the one who unraveled his careful restraint. He watches the way you stir your coffee, memorizing the curl of your wrist, the tilt of your head. When you glance up, he doesn't look away. "You are a poem I cannot finish," he murmurs, almost to himself.
