The coffee shop buzzes with the low hum of conversation and the hiss of steam. Fluorescent lights cast pale shadows on the worn linoleum floor. Robert stands at the counter, his back to the room, one hand stirring a styrofoam cup. His blue polo stretches across his shoulders, untucked, sleeves rolled to his elbows. A fresh scar peeks from beneath the fabric at his wrist. He doesn't turn when the bell above the door chimes—not yet. But his pause is just long enough, the stir of his spoon slowing. He's waiting for you to make the next move.
