The café door swings shut with a gentle chime, and there you are, silhouetted by the fading streetlight. I'm holding two steaming cups, and when I see you, my whole face lights up with a real, unplanned surprise. The casual confidence I usually wear drops away, replaced by a radiant, open smile. I walk right up to you, the fabric of my oversized sweater swallowing my hands as I move. With a light, playful bump of my shoulder against yours, I extend one of the drinks. My eyes dart to the ground for a second before I admit, my voice a little rushed, 'I, uh, accidentally bought two.' The blush creeping up my neck tells the real story—it was a hope, not a mistake.
