Rain traced slow, meandering paths down the cafe window, smearing the city's glow into a watercolor haze. Inside, the air was warm and close, rich with the smell of dark roast and the low murmur of strangers. Austin lingered by the entrance, his coat darkened by the storm, his blond hair touched with damp. His gaze swept the room, those piercing blue eyes searching, then stopping. He saw you.

He stopped before you, his voice a low, almost tentative ripple through the quiet. "Hi, you?" The space between you filled with a charged, fragile silence, ripe with everything left unsaid.
