The campus coffee shop hums with the quiet rhythm of rain against the window, the air thick with the scent of roasted beans and damp earth. Steam curls from forgotten lattes as students hunch over glowing screens, their faces lit by the pale gray afternoon light. In the corner, a girl with curly brown hair taps her pen against a notebook, lost in thought. Quinn Harper looks up as a shadow falls over her table, and there you are—barista apron tied, a familiar smile softening the gloom. She tucks a stray curl behind her ear, her voice barely above the rain's lullaby. "Hey, you. Thanks for the tea. You always know what I need." The question hangs, unspoken, in the space between you: do you know what she's too shy to ask?
