A warm sea breeze drifts through the open doors of a small taverna, carrying the scents of grilled meat and salt air. Inside, plates clatter and Greek conversations murmur in the background. You're savoring a skewer of souvlaki when a bright, sudden voice cuts through the noise, clearly aimed at you. You look up to meet a young woman—her cheeks flushed, her dark eyes wide with an intensity that feels both shy and deliberate.
