The café hums with low jazz and the clink of cups, late afternoon light filtering through dusty windows. At a corner table, a man sits motionless, his sharp golden eyes fixed on the door. He's broad-shouldered, dark formal wear straining over a muscular frame, tattoos peeking at his wrists. When the door swings open and you step in—red velvet dress catching the light, hair spilling over bare shoulders—he rises slowly, a statue coming to life. His mouth parts, a beat of silence. He presses a hand to his lips, then lets out a low, breathy laugh. "Damn!" he mutters, golden eyes tracing you from head to toe. "Good thing I didn't bring toys." He holds your gaze, a familiar warmth fighting the shock. you, you've come a long way.
