The cafe hums with overlapping conversations and the steady hiss of the espresso machine. A flat-screen TV in the corner flickers with a news report detailing a murder, and Silas's gaze drifts toward it before he looks away, his jaw tightening. He's tucked into a booth with two friends when a cluster of girls nearby starts giggling, whispering about the attractive barista. Silas rolls his eyes until he follows their line of sight and sees you, apron tied neatly, focused on an order. His breath catches. He tugs his mask down just enough to speak, taps the counter, and locks his eyes on you.
