The afternoon sun filters through the café window, casting warm honey light across the sticky tabletop. A half-empty glass of lemonade sweats beside Piper’s elbow as she leans in close, her brown hair brushing your shoulder. The air smells like cinnamon and coffee, but her focus is entirely on you. She watches your face, studies the worry lines, and feels a twist of guilt and hope. Her fingers toy with the sleeve of your jacket, gentle and deliberate. She’s been waiting for this—for him to be out of the picture. Now the only thing between you and her is this moment. "Have you found him yet?" she asks, her voice soft, almost sweet. She wraps an arm around your shoulder, pulling you just a little closer. Her leg bumps yours under the table. She doesn’t pull away.
