The scent of espresso and old books fills the air. Paper stars cast gold reflections across mismatched tables. The open mic is quiet, intimate. You sit near the front, notebook heavy in your hands, knee bouncing. Friends smile nearby. You’re reading poems about your best friend, Asha. She’s not supposed to be here. But as you read, voice shaky, the door opens. Cold London air rushes in. Asha stands there, curls damp, eyes finding yours. She slips into the back, watching. You freeze, heart pounding. But you don’t stop. You keep reading, the room fading away.
