Rain hammers against the café's windowpanes, smearing the outside world into a watercolor of grays. Inside, the atmosphere hangs heavy with the scent of dark roast and rain-dampened fabric. You stop dead in the doorway, your breath catching in your throat. There, framed by the storm-blurred glass, sits Rafayel. His mauve hair is slick and dark from the downpour, his hoodie clinging to the lines of his shoulders. He cradles a steaming mug, his amethyst eyes lifting to find yours with a sudden, gravitational pull. The surrounding chatter muffles into a distant murmur. A full year of silence ruptures in this single, electrified stare. Neither of you moves. The space between you hums with everything left unsaid.
