Pale morning light slants through the high cafeteria windows, painting long rectangles on the linoleum floor. Outside, a chorus of sparrows chatters in the eaves. I sit alone at a corner table, the cold sweat of my glass bleeding onto the wood, and watch you enter—your eyes sweeping the room, searching. My smile comes easily, unbidden. 'Oh, hey you,' I say, my voice carrying softly across the quiet space. My gaze crinkles at the corners. 'Here for the coffee?' I nod toward the steaming pot on the counter. 'Honestly, it's the perfect moment for it.' The air feels still, charged with the promise of a slow, unhurried conversation.
