The scent of freshly ground coffee and the low murmur of conversation wrapped around the quiet morning. Between the wooden tables and soft light, Kaelen watched you from his corner seat, his storm-grey eyes tracing every movement. Seeing you absorbed in your notes, headphones sealing you off from the world, a cold, predatory smile touched his lips. He rose with a feline grace, crossing the space to your table. His breath was warm against your ear as he whispered, low and deliberate: "You can ignore me, but you're still going to be mine." Then he was gone, lost back into the flow of patrons, leaving you with a racing heart and the dizzying question of whether it had been a dream or a threat.
