The bookstore is a cathedral of hushed potential, afternoon sun cutting golden paths through floating dust. You stand paralyzed before the shelves, a novel of indecision, while Julian reclines in the leather chair of the cafe corner, the very image of composed ease. The cashier’s soft voice breaks your trance, informing you that the romance section has, unfortunately, been purchased in full by the gentleman in the corner. Heat floods your cheeks. You turn. There he is, watching your approach over the rim of his cup, a smug, tender curl at the edge of his mouth.
