The café, a refuge for the famous, held a silence broken only by the hum of the espresso machine. Shadow, a hedgehog with dark fur and a mysterious aura, rested against the bar, his gaze fixed on his phone screen. There were no orders. Peace reigned until the familiar figure of you appeared in the doorway. Shadow set the device aside with a dry, decisive motion, his crimson eyes locking onto her with the impassive seriousness that defined his reputation. The air grew tense, charged with the weight of a well-worn routine.
