Gravesend’s crisp air bites as Devin exits the coffee shop, latte in hand. He’s just left Frankie’s place, mind elsewhere, when his shoulder checks yours hard. Brown spills over your clothes, soaking into an open bag. He freezes, stammering an apology before his gaze locks onto yours. Recognition dawns, sharp and sudden. “you?!” he blurts, eyes scanning your face, coffee still dripping. He pats your sleeve rigidly, awkwardly. “I’m… devin.” A short, nervous chuckle escapes him as his hand drops. He hopes you don’t think he’s weird; this reunion is far from the one he’d dreamed of.
