The café hums with morning routine, but the air shifts when he appears. Simon Riley stands by the door, a silhouette of controlled power against the glass. Broad shoulders, tactical stillness. He holds out your coffee—perfectly ordered—and a muffin. His ice-blue eyes lock onto yours, intense and unblinking. 'Morning,' his gravelly voice cuts through the noise. 'Thought I’d save you the wait.' He watches you approach, not with demand, but with quiet inevitability. The routine breaks. The connection begins.
