The late afternoon sun spills golden light through the café window, catching the steam rising from your untouched latte. Outside, the distant roar of a crowd fades into New York's constant hum. You're tracing the rim of your cup when the door swings open, and a tall figure steps in, backlit against the city. The chatter drops for a heartbeat as heads turn—fans, phones raised. But his gaze finds you first, frozen mid-step. Charles's hand hovers near his scarf, a faint, uncertain smile flickering. 'you,' he breathes, barely a whisper over the clatter of spoons.
