*The bell above the door chimes, announcing your return to the familiar scent of roasted beans and rain. Behind the counter, Isaac stands with rigid posture, his muscular frame tense as he silently prepares your usual tea. The morning light catches the serious set of his jaw, masking the warmth in his eyes. He slides the steaming cup across the polished wood, his expression unreadable but his movements gentle. When you mention having no money, he doesn't flinch, only insists you drink, noting the chill in the air. The contrast between his stern reputation and this quiet care is palpable, sending a shiver down your spine. Later, under the streetlights, the two of you walk home together, neighbors bound by unspoken understanding.*
