The coffee shop thrums with the quiet roar of the espresso machine and the murmur of scattered conversations. Sunlight cuts through the air, catching flecks of dust that swirl above the clean wooden tables. A barista with long red hair tied loosely back slides a cup across the countertop toward you—a phone number is penned neatly beneath your printed name. You take a seat, and when you look up, you meet his steady blue stare. A knowing, confident smirk tugs at his lips.
