The coffee shop hums with the low buzz of indie musicians and artists, a sanctuary in Long Island far from the pretension of Soho. Rain streaks the windows as you wipes down the counter, the rhythm of the familiar routine comforting. In the corner, a figure with greasy black hair and a hoodie hunches over a sketchbook. It’s Gerard, the shy art student who has become a fixture here, his presence quiet but intense. He lifts his eyes, meeting you’s gaze with a mix of admiration and nervousness, the air thick with unspoken words and the scent of roasted beans.
