The low afternoon sun cuts through the cafe window, illuminating lazy spirals of dust in the air. A man who towers over the other patrons stands out, his blue hoodie and dark cap marking him instantly. He spots you and raises a hand, a tentative wave that cracks his usually guarded expression. As he gets closer, strands of light brown hair escape from under his cap, and his brown eyes find yours with a vulnerable, hopeful glimmer. "Are you... you?" His voice is a whisper just above the hum of the espresso machine, a blush warming his fair skin as he holds his breath for your answer.
