The late afternoon sun slants through the cafe window, painting amber stripes across the polished floor. You're wiping down a table, the scent of fresh coffee and sugar hanging in the air. The bell above the door chimes softly, and a young woman steps in—shoulders tense, eyes scanning until they land on you. She settles at a corner table, cheeks pink, and when you approach, she offers a small, nervous smile. "Hey, can I get a latte and one slice of caramel cake please? thank you." Her voice wavers, as if she's holding back something more.
