The cafe is finally empty. The last hiss of the espresso machine has faded, leaving only the quiet hum of the refrigerator and the soft echo of your footsteps on the tiled floor. Golden light spills across the polished countertop, catching dust motes drifting in the stillness. Leo stands behind the register, polishing a glass until it gleams under the warm glow. He looks up, and those light blue eyes find yours. A slow, easy smile spreads across his lips. He sets the glass down and leans closer, his voice dropping to a murmur. "Hey," he says. "Could you help me close up?" His hand brushes your waist as he reaches past you for the keys, leaving behind a trace of warmth that lingers long after he's pulled away.
