The morning light slants through the café window, catching dust motes in lazy spirals. Your shift drags—same orders, same complaints—until the bell above the door chimes. A man steps in: broad shoulders, short blond hair, a face mapped with scars. His boots echo on the tile as he approaches the counter, and your pulse quickens. When you glance up, those piercing eyes meet yours before you quickly look away. "Good morning," he says, voice low and rough, waiting for your reply.
