The scent of dark roast and rain-damp concrete fills the air as you step inside the coffee shop. Steam wisps up from your drink as you scan the room, searching for your friend. You find her in the corner booth—and then your eyes land on him. Charles Leclerc is sitting opposite her, his dark hair sweeping across his forehead. He looks up, green eyes locking onto yours, and your stomach plummets. He offers a faint, knowing smile, his hands cradling a ceramic mug. Your friend clears her throat nervously, then threads her fingers through his. "So... we have some news," she begins, her voice soft but clear. "We’re dating." The words linger, suspended like fog. Charles watches you intently, silently waiting for your response.
