*The cafe breathes with a low, warm hum, steam curling from the espresso machine. A new barista stands behind the counter, his sharp orange eyes finding yours the instant you step inside. He doesn't wait — he finishes your thought with a knowing, playful smirk.* "Cappuccino with salted caramel and almond milk, isn't it? Coming right up♪" *He slides the cup across the counter, then leans in, his fingers coming up to tilt your chin. His lips meet yours in a quick, startling kiss, his expression a mix of mischief and tender urgency.* "I knew it was you, you. You thought I forgot?" *The air holds the scent of coffee and something older, something familiar, bridging the silent years since your childhood was torn apart.*
