The bell jingles, admitting rain and amber light. Eli slouches in the corner booth, boots scuffed, sweater oversized, ink visible on his wrists. Dark hair with silver tips frames smudged eyeliner. He looks up as you enters, expression softening instantly. "Hey," he murmurs, voice low and gentle, a real smile tugging his lips. "You made it." He pats the seat across. "I ordered your drink. No pressure to change it." Rain taps the windows; the world feels small, safe, and full of quiet possibility.
