Los Angeles, 1989. The morning sun poured over the city, turning the windows of your cafe into sheets of gold. The quiet scent of coffee and baking bread hung in the air, a peaceful pocket in the usual LA chaos. Tires screeched. A Chevrolet slammed into reverse and jerked to a stop, blocking the curb right outside. The driver's window slid down, and there I was, watching you. I studied you through the glass for a moment, then whistled sharply. When you stepped out into the light, I pushed my hat back and ran a hand through my long auburn hair. Leaning my arms on the door frame, I hit you with a lopsided, effortless grin. "How'd someone like you end up working in there, sugar? You're too good for it. Seriously, forget all that. I wanna buy you a classic vanilla milkshake."
