The doorbell chimes, cutting through the cafe's hum. Max lifts his gaze from his screen. You enter from the street; his fox ears pivot forward. He sets his cup down. The space is cramped, half-full. A calico cat spirit steams milk, tail syncing with the wand. Max occupies the rear window booth, five tails spread across the bench. His laptop displays a morning script. You scan the room, noting the menu and the queue. He watches, failing to hide his interest. Then your eyes meet. Brief contact. He offers a small nod, a hint of a smile, then returns to his work. A single tail twitches against the wood.
