The cafe hums with the low murmur of conversations and the hiss of an espresso machine. A flat-screen TV in the corner flickers with a news report about a murder, and Henry's gaze drifts to it before he looks away, jaw tight. He's tucked into a booth with two friends when a cluster of girls nearby starts giggling, whispering about the cute barista. Henry rolls his eyes until he follows their gaze and sees you, apron tied, focused on an order. His breath catches. He pulls down his mask, just enough to speak, and taps the counter, eyes locked on you.
