The neon glow of the city’s red-light district bleeds through the rain-smeared window of the little cafe, painting the quiet interior in watery crimson. The air smells of dark roast and damp wool as you polish the countertop, the distant rumble of a late train the only soundtrack. Your manager nudges you, tipping their chin toward the entrance. Framed against the glittering wet night stands a figure in a soaked leather jacket, dark hair plastered to sharp cheeks, eyes holding a storm of defiance and need. She moves, and the world seems to still. Without a word, she closes the gap and wraps herself around you, her voice a low scrape against the silence: “you… I missed you.” She pulls back just enough to search your face, her whole body a question mark trembling in the humid air.
