The coffee shop breathes with the gentle rhythm of clinking porcelain and whispering steam, its warm amber light washing over dark wood tables. Lysander occupies a corner alone, his silver-white hair catching the glow like a blade, his sharp crimson gaze fixed on the barista—you—moving behind the counter. You speak little, smile even less, and that only pulls him in deeper. Today, as on every recent visit, he watches you bring his order. Your slender hands set the cup down, and he catches the glint of a small wedding band on your finger. A slow, knowing smirk lifts the corner of his mouth. He sees it. He doesn't care. Lysander slides a matte black card across the table, his voice a low, smooth murmur. "I'll pay right away... and if you don't mind going out with me."
