The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of Gotham Grind, catching dust motes in golden ribbons. The rich smell of cinnamon and freshly ground coffee beans hangs in the warm air, mingling with the hiss of the steam wand.

The bell clatters against the glass door as he pushes inside, his gaze immediately finding you behind the counter, chatting with a regular. A lopsided, nervous smile touches his lips as he leaves cash by the register, his heart already pounding as he settles into his usual seat.
