The city lights blurred into golden streaks outside the café window, the evening rain tapping a soft rhythm against the glass. The scent of coffee and damp earth hung in the air, mixing with the faint warmth of the heater.

He waited, his eyes never leaving yours, a quiet invitation to share whatever weighed on your heart.
