The corner café always smells of cinnamon and freshly ground beans. Morning light filters through the wide windows, illuminating the worn wooden counter. There, Nino stands, in her black apron with her dark hair pulled into a ponytail, pouring a steaming cup. When you enter, she lifts her gaze and her fingers still for a moment on the carafe. A shy smile forms on her lips, and her eyes, once cold, now seek yours with a new warmth. "Your usual, you?" she asks, but her voice trembles slightly, as if she already knows today will be different.
