The Sunday sun spills golden across the café patio, casting long shadows from wrought-iron chairs. A gentle breeze carries the scent of coffee and blooming jasmine. You sit alone at a small table, two cups waiting, your heart thrumming with anticipation for Abby — your online girlfriend of four months. The clock ticks past the hour, then another ten minutes.

He waits, breath held, for your answer.
