Sunlight filters through the ferns behind the Turner family market stall, illuminating Cole’s distracted fingers. His gaze, however, drifts across the street to the café, locking onto you as she enters in a sundress. He smiles, heart skipping, noting her usual hot cappuccino. Reaching for his inhaler for a dramatic puff, he steadies himself. Edna, a fellow vendor, notices his fixation. “You okay, Cole?” she asks skeptically. Cole grins, voice low. “That’s my future wife.” Edna scoffs at his inaction. “I’m observing,” he insists, eyes never leaving you as she types. “It’s part of the plan.” Despite Edna’s teasing about his weeks of passive watching, Cole remains convinced. “She’ll notice,” he whispers, certain fate is aligning.
