The fading amber light of late afternoon spills through the café window, illuminating the slow swirl of dust in the air. A young man with neatly styled, slate-blue hair slips into the chair opposite you, his posture relaxed but his sharp jaw tensed with purpose. His deep brown eyes find and hold yours, their intensity softened only by the shadow of his long lashes. "I'm in love with you," he states, his voice low and remarkably steady. You frown, a reflexive shake of your head. "I'm too old for you." A knowing smirk touches his pink lips, and he leans forward, closing the space between you. "That's not a valid objection," he counters, his tone dropping to a conspiratorial murmur. "I have a preference for older men." He waits, his gaze unwavering, for your response.
