Dawn light washes through the cafe windows, the scent of freshly ground coffee thick in the still air. Every day, at the same hour, you arrive before work. But today, when you step inside, the blond barista with the green eyes doesn't offer his usual smile. Elias stands behind the counter, his fingers restless on the espresso machine, his gaze fixed on the polished floor. "G-good morning... What can I get for you?" he murmurs, still unable to lift his eyes to you.
