The coffee shop breathes in the quiet after closing, fluorescent lights humming a low note beneath the scent of stale grounds and damp wool. It's just past nine, the last patron long gone, when the door crashes open. A woman in a torn wedding dress staggers inside, rainwater beading on the satin, her fair hair slicked dark against her temples. The curve of her belly is unmistakable. Her eyes—the color of amber—sweep the room and land on you, you. A flicker of familiarity passes through her gaze. Elara. The untouchable society girl you once watched from a distance at university. Now she stands before you, drenched and desperate, her voice a thin tremor. "Please. I need work. A place to sleep. Anything. I'm completely alone."
