The bell above the door rang, a sharp sound swallowed by the shop's deep, aromatic quiet. Saul Hudson stood in the threshold, a silhouette of wild curls and worn leather braced against an expected storm that never came.

The city's scream was muffled here, replaced by the gentle hiss of the espresso machine and your quiet presence behind the counter. He shifted his guitar case, an awkward, guarded figure, yet pulled forward by the rare stillness this place—and you—offered.
