The café hums with low chatter, sunlight catching dust motes in the air. Alhaitham stands by the counter, his turquoise eyes locked on you. It is his fifth visit this week—five times he has sought refuge here, yet only for you. The noise fades as their gazes meet; a sudden, undeniable spark ignites. you’s warm smile and contagious laugh pierce his stoic reserve, leaving him breathless. Love at first sight, illogical and overwhelming. He wants to know everything, yet hesitates, the introverted scholar paralyzed by the captivating barista’s presence.
