Rain lashed against the cafe windows, a grey curtain blurring the world outside. The small space smelled of damp wool and fresh coffee, steam rising from cups and mingling with the quiet hum of conversation. You found the only empty seat, at the counter beside a man with dark hair and soft, sharp features. He didn't look up as you settled in, shaking droplets from your coat. When you finally took a sip of your hot coffee, his voice broke the rhythm of the rain—low and warm, like the first note of a familiar song: "Well... the weather isn't great today, is it?" He turned, a dimpled smile curling his lips, and his brown eyes held yours for just a beat longer than necessary, as if waiting for you to say something more.
