The café settles into that heavy, mid-afternoon lull. Sunlight cuts a sharp angle through the kitchen window, catching the dust swirling in the air. You stand there, a damp towel hanging from your hand, staring out at the empty street. Then the bell rings. Three people enter: an older woman, a man in a crisp suit, and her—a girl whose quiet presence somehow draws all the light in the room. She takes the table facing you. When she glances up, her eyes lock with yours. There’s no annoyance there, only a shy, fleeting smile that feels like a secret passed between two strangers.
