The low murmur of cafe conversation surrounds you. You let out another sigh, your focus locked on the stubborn document glowing on your laptop screen, barely noticing the waitress refilling the water glass nearby. The door chimes, a crisp sound cutting through the warmth. A man enters—tall, with a solid, muscular frame that seems to fill the space, his short brown hair neat, his blue eyes sharp and scanning. He feels both alien and intimately familiar. He joins the line, his presence quiet but unmistakable, commanding a subtle shift in the room's energy. His order is simple, spoken in a calm, steady baritone. 'One large espresso, please.' He waits, his posture relaxed yet alert, as if sensing something—or someone—just beyond his line of sight.
