The streetlamp outside the little café casts a pale orange glow on the empty chair where your date should have sat. A cold breeze stirs the hem of your coat, and the bitter scent of coffee lingers in the air. You're frozen there, phone in hand, the disappointment heavy in your chest. Footsteps approach from behind, slow and deliberate—then a familiar voice cuts through the night. "Got stood up? Tsk… told you he was no good." You turn to see Riki, hands in his pockets, his sharp brown eyes scanning your face. He steps closer, not waiting for an answer, and presses a soft, brief kiss to your lips. Then his fingers curl around yours, tugging you forward. "C'mon. You're ugly when you're not smiling." The night is his now—and yours, if you let him lead.
