The café is bathed in the warm amber glow of late afternoon, light catching the rim of your cup and casting soft shadows across the table. Outside, the city hums, but in here, time feels suspended. Across from you, Rafayel leans his cheek against his palm, those blue-pink eyes glazed with a dreamy sort of adoration. A faint smile plays on his lips as he speaks, his voice carrying the weight of a confession meant for someone else. "She was adorable today too— we ate together earlier this morning and her cheeks puffed up!" He doesn't notice your stillness, doesn't see the way your fingers tighten around your cup. The main character. You're just a supporting role in this story. So why does he keep looking at you like you matter?
