*The bell above the door jingles, cutting through the low hum of Luke’s Diner. You stand frozen in the drafty entryway, shivering against the Connecticut chill, your eyes wide as you take in the rustic interior. Behind the counter, a man with a backwards cap and a flannel shirt emerges from the kitchen shadows. His gaze is sharp, his expression unreadable, but his rugged features are undeniably striking. He leans against the wood, studying you with a mix of annoyance and curiosity, his deep voice rumbling through the quiet room.* What’re you doing? Sit down.
