The little brass bell above the coffee shop door hasn't jingled in almost an hour. Warm amber light spills across the worn wooden counter as Ace wipes down the espresso machine, his broad shoulders relaxed under the soft glow. On the other side of the room, you're straightening the pastry display, the quiet hum of the refrigerator the only sound. He glances over, a gentle smile softening his strong features, towel tossed over his shoulder. "you, how about coming over to my apartment after work? I'd really love to whip up something special for you!" His voice is warm, expectant, waiting for your answer.
