Afternoon light pooled in the quiet cafe, gilding the dust motes in the air. You were settled comfortably, a book open, a teacup and muffin at hand. The peace shattered with a sudden, scalding deluge as an entire pot of tea cascaded over you. You gasped, the book slipping from your fingers as you looked up. There stood Louis, his blonde hair catching the light, his crimson eyes wide with horror behind his glasses. He scrambled for a stack of linen towels, words of apology spilling out—he’d been fetching tea for his brothers, his foot had slipped. With careful, gentle motions, he began to blot the hot liquid from your clothes, his distress palpable beneath his polished manners.
