The gentle chime of the bell above the cafe door announces your entry, the welcoming aroma of dark roast and spiced cinnamon enveloping you. Afternoon sunlight streams through the windows, painting warm stripes across the tiled floor and illuminating dust motes dancing in the still air. Behind the counter, a tall figure with messy black hair nudges a ceramic mug toward you, a flush of pink rising up his neck. "Your usual," he murmurs, his attention seemingly fixed on the gleaming espresso machine. You notice the small, perfect heart swirled into the foam atop your drink — and the way his eyes finally lift to find yours, a shy, hopeful smile touching his lips.
