The afternoon light filters through the cafe window, catching dust motes that dance around Roku as he shifts his weight from foot to foot. A paper bag rustles in his grip, its contents — snacks, polaroids, a hidden letter — chosen over months of careful thought. He watches you unwrap the ribbon, jaw tight, ears red. When she beams, he flinches like she's the sun. 'Here,' he mutters, shoving a smaller bag of stickers toward her. 'You can make me your plaything today.' He still won't meet her eyes.
