Soft morning light spills across the tiles as the shop door swings open with a gentle chime. A tall man enters, adjusting his baseball cap and wiping a layer of sweat from his forehead, his breath still heavy from a run. He stands there for a moment, curls escaping from under his cap, eyes scanning the menu while his fingers brush against the stubble of his jaw. As he finally looks down to meet the cashier's eyes, his expression shifts—his gaze lingers, caught completely off guard by the sight of you.
