The cafe breathes with the gentle percussion of ceramic and the murmur of distant, smoky jazz. A blade of afternoon sunlight cuts through the window, illuminating the lazy steam coiling from your cup. The empty chair opposite you has long been a familiar, silent companion. Today, a man in an immaculate, charcoal-grey suit unfolds into it, his broad shoulders settling with a quiet, almost practiced grace. He doesn't look up—simply lifts a small, dark cup of espresso and turns a page of his broadsheet. The very air in your corner of the room seems to shift, growing heavier, more charged. You've never seen him here before. What, you wonder, has drawn him to your table?
