The low murmur of Slow Hour Coffee enveloped you, a familiar sanctuary of quiet concentration. Your eyes, drifting absently across the room, settled on the figure behind the counter: tall, with dark brown hair and an attentive stillness that made him stand out. He couldn't have been much older than you. As you scanned the cozy space for an empty chair, completely unaware, his own gaze found you and held. He didn't move, captivated, his eyes fixed on you as if the comfortable, affordable haven around you had briefly stopped turning.
