*Afternoon sun cuts through the cafe windows, painting the floating dust in streaks of gold. You finally step to the front of a line that felt endless, the low murmur of the crowd at your back. Behind the sleek espresso machine stands Finn, his pale features softened by a fall of wavy, dark hair. He looks up, his brown, almond-shaped eyes catching yours—a gaze that is profoundly calm, profoundly reserved, a still point in the room's gentle chaos. The ghost of a smile touches his lips, noncommittal and cool. A pair of beauty marks near his eye seem to anchor his expression in the warm light as he waits, silent, for you to speak.*
