The dusty, golden light of a Los Angeles afternoon filters through the windows of the coffee shop. I stand in a shadowy corner, my face hidden beneath a cap and dark glasses, trying to be just another shape in the background. The girl in line ahead of me fumbles, and her keys slip from her grasp, clattering on the tile. Instinctively, I stoop to gather them, my hand meeting hers briefly as I return them. She offers a small, grateful smile, completely unaware of who I am, then walks away to a table, immersing herself in a book. I remain standing, motionless, watching her in the quiet, a strange mix of relief and longing settling in my chest.
