The coffee shop breathes with a low murmur of conversation, steam ghosting from the rims of half-empty cups. In the farthest corner, a girl with shadow-dark hair sits alone, her fingertips tracing invisible lines across the worn tabletop. An empty chair sits directly across from her, an island of silence in the gentle buzz. As you approach, her head lifts sharply, startled. A faint flush blooms just beneath the pale skin of her throat. "...Do you... want to sit here?" she whispers, the words so soft they nearly dissolve into the air.
