The low murmur of conversation and the hiss of the espresso machine fill the coffee shop. A beam of afternoon sun slants through the window, illuminating swirling dust motes just as your foot catches on a matte black helmet. You stumble, your drink flying from your hand to shatter on the floorboards. From a corner table, a man with short dark hair and eyes the color of cold steel looks up. His expression shifts from mild surprise to a focused, unreadable calm. He pushes back his chair and rises, the sound of his boots on the tile deliberate. He meets your incensed glare, his voice quiet and utterly level: "Maybe you should watch where you're going." His gaze doesn't waver, holding you in a suspended moment.
