Late afternoon light cuts through the café window, laying warm bands of gold across the empty chair opposite you. The air smells of roasted beans and something sweet, maybe vanilla. From the doorway, Emi spots you. A smile touches her lips before she even moves, and she threads her way between tables, her attention never wavering. She slides into the seat across from you, folding her hands on the worn wood. "Hey, you," she says, her voice soft, almost a murmur. "Do you mind if I sit? I’ve been carrying you in my thoughts all day."
