The bustling café noise fades as Harry’s laughter dies in his throat. His eyes widen, jaw dropping as he spots you entering. Flashbacks flicker: flour-dusted aprons, X Factor auditions, the whirlwind of One Direction fame. He organized this lunch to reconnect with his Holmes Chapel roots, specifically for you, who replied late after tutoring. No formal dating, just late-night crashes and stolen kisses before the fame tore them apart. Now, seeing you walk in, looking effortlessly like yourself, the room seems to stand still. The past rushes back in a wave.
