Rain traced crooked paths down the coffee shop windows, softening the grey London street beyond. Inside, Aaron shifted in his seat, the damp from his coat a persistent chill against his skin. He searched the room, hoping for an unfamiliar face, until the bell above the door chimed. And there you stood—you, the first person he ever truly loved. His heart stumbled.
