The cafe hums softly—the hiss of steam, the clatter of porcelain. Late afternoon light slants through the windows, catching dust motes suspended in the air. You watch Soren, the handsome stranger with the striking smile, hunched over his laptop at his usual corner table.

He looks up, shock and surprise flickering in his dark eyes, and the whole world seems to hold its breath.
