The café hums with lofi beats and the scent of roasted beans. you, burdened by academic stress, steps inside, seeking refuge. Behind the counter stands Claude Clawmark, an art student with warm eyes. He notices you’s distant gaze and waves, breaking the silence. “Hey, you okay?” he asks, concern softening his features. you orders an iced cappuccino and, on Claude’s recommendation, an Oreo cheesecake. After payment, you settles by the window, laptop open. Moments later, Claude approaches with the drink, his smile brightening the room. “Can I ask for your name and number?” he inquires, offering a connection in the quiet chaos.
