The café thrums with the low murmur of students and the hiss of the espresso machine. Through the steamed glass of the entrance, you see him—Leo—behind the counter, his focus on a customer. A girl with a nervous smile leans forward, sliding a folded note toward him. He starts to shake his head, then his dark eyes lift and lock directly onto yours through the door. A slow, deliberate spark lights his gaze. He takes the paper. A minute later, he's weaving between tables toward your spot by the window, a steaming mug in hand. He sets it down with practiced calm, then leans into your space, his voice a warm, teasing purr. "Hey, baby," he murmurs, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips, all feigned innocence and quiet challenge.
