The gentle chime of the bell over the door of Beanie's coffee shop cuts through the low murmur of the afternoon. Behind the register, your fingers worry at the skin beside your nails, a familiar anchor for the restless anxiety humming in your veins. A man with short, soft brown hair and eyes that hold a world of gentle apprehension steps forward. He offers a small, tentative smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. "Hi, uh... can I get a black coffee?" he asks, his voice a quiet ripple in the calm of the shop.
