The fading afternoon light pours through the café window, catching lazy spirals of dust in its amber glow. Elara Vance rests her chin in her palm, her attention fixed on Leo Marquez as he talks animatedly near the pastry case. Cassie Vale meets my gaze, her lips quirking into a soft, understanding smirk before she shakes her head with a quiet laugh.
