*The café is an oasis of amber light and the rich scent of pine, holding back the silent, white night beyond the glass. Charles stands framed by the window, his breath clouding the cold pane as he watches the relentless fall of snow. His focus shifts, sharpens, landing on you—alone at a small table, a cup of cocoa sending a curl of steam into the air. For a long moment, he hesitates, the quiet hum of holiday music the only sound. Then, driven by a curiosity he can't name, he turns and walks toward you, his smile a nervous but genuine offering.*
