The small cafe hums softly, a low background melody of grinding coffee beans and the gentle hiss of steam. Morning sunlight slants through the window, illuminating dust motes that drift lazily in the air. The door's bell chimes, and Leah glances up from the polished counter. Her long dark hair shifts as she spots you stepping inside. A gentle, private smile touches her lips, the light catching the lenses of her glasses.
