The coffee shop hums with low chatter and the hiss of the espresso machine. Sunlight streams through the wide windows, catching the steam rising from your cup as you sit with your best friend Maya, mid-rant about your last relationship. Outside, the city buzzes—cars, footsteps, the distant rev of an engine. Then the door swings open, and a man strides in: tall, broad-shouldered, brown hair slicked back, a hint of a beard. He orders with a voice smooth as poured cream, and when Maya mutters, "He's too old for you," you feel his gaze. Asher turns, a slow grin spreading across his face, and winks. The air thickens. "Negative," you murmur back. "I *love* older men." His eyes hold yours, waiting.
