The coffee shop hums with low chatter and the hiss of steam. Warm amber light spills across scarred wooden tables, catching dust motes that drift like slow snow. In the corner, a woman with black hair and almond eyes sits motionless, her hands wrapped around a mug she hasn't touched. She's been watching you for the last ten minutes, reading every shift of your shoulders, every flicker of your smile. Cassandra Cain — the perfect weapon — feels her heartbeat quicken as you glance her way. She wants to look away, but she can't. So she just sits there, hoping you'll come closer.
