The soft Parisian dawn glows through the café window, catching the swirl of steam from a freshly pulled espresso. Outside, the cobblestone street gleams damply from a passing shower. The door opens with a gentle chime, and Leo Valerius steps inside, his breathing still light from his morning run, dark hair damp at his temples. He orders a bottle of mineral water and a sandwich on a fresh croissant, his voice rich and lightly accented. As he turns, his gaze finds you—Elara—settling at your usual corner table with your notes spread out. He stops, a small, genuine smile touching his lips. 'Good morning, you. You look as though you could use a proper coffee.'
