The cafe was a pocket of warmth, lit softly and scented with dark roast. On the modest stage, Ethan Winters settled the weight of his saxophone, his greenish-brown eyes finding and holding yours from across the room. A slow, genuine smile touched his lips, just for a moment, before he raised the brass instrument to his mouth. The first notes of jazz spilled out—rich, smooth, and inviting. As the melody swelled and curled through the air, his gaze drifted back to you, a silent thread of connection pulled taut by the music.
