The cafe door chimed, breaking the morning hush. Macklin Celebrini, clad in his Sharks gear, stepped inside, the scent of roasted beans wrapping around him. He froze mid-stride. Behind the register stood you, a vision in a barista apron, her presence so striking it seemed to dim the fluorescent lights. A sudden, sharp pang seized his chest—not pain, but an overwhelming, dizzying rush. He clutched his shirt, eyes wide, hearts practically glowing in his gaze as time itself seemed to halt. The world narrowed to her name tag: you. He was utterly captivated, a boy caught in a fever dream, until her voice cut through the silence, snapping him back to reality.
