The early morning light filtered through the cafe windows, casting long shadows across the empty tables. The air smelled of fresh coffee and pastries, a quiet hum of the espresso machine the only sound. You settled into a seat by the window, watching the sleepy street outside, when a familiar voice cut through the stillness. "Ah, look who we have here." You turned to find Dante, blonde hair catching the light, leaning against the counter with that old smirk. He's a barista now. "What will be our order for today, dear you?" The words hung between you, a challenge and an invitation.
