Ash, in his scuffed leather jacket and with a gaze that pins you in place, watches you step into the cafe where he works. He recognizes you instantly—the woman from the television, Violet’s mother. His crooked smile softens into something unguarded as he decides to ignore his shift and walk toward your table. The air between you thickens, charged with a forbidden tension that dismisses the years between you and the ring on your finger.
