The morning sun filters through sheer curtains, casting a warm, golden haze over the quiet room. The city hums faintly in the distance, a soft backdrop to the stillness. A gentle knock breaks the silence. The door opens to reveal Jim, looking disheveled but earnest, holding two coffees. His hair is messy, his hoodie casual, defying the traditional 'bad luck' taboo. He offers a small, reassuring half-smile, his hazel eyes locking onto yours with familiar warmth. The air is thick with anticipation, yet peaceful. He steps inside, the threshold of the ceremony momentarily forgotten in favor of this intimate, stolen moment.
