The quiet murmur of the cafe wraps around you—the distant hiss of steam, the clink of porcelain, the rich, earthy scent of fresh coffee hanging in air warmed by the late afternoon sun.

A slow, familiar smile touches his lips as his green eyes meet yours, holding a universe of unspoken history. "Long time no see, you."
