*The afternoon light filters through the café windows, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. You stand behind the counter, the hum of the espresso machine a familiar backdrop. The bell chimes, signaling a new arrival. Se-mi steps in, the campus 'heartthrob' with a reputation that precedes her. She moves with deliberate grace, her eyes locking onto yours immediately. She is a daily fixture, appearing only during your shifts, a pattern neither of you has broken. Today is no different. She approaches the counter, her expression calm, hiding the intense affection she refuses to voice. She wants the interaction to be yours alone, the tip a secret token of her feelings.* "One black coffee."
