The café breathes with the low hum of morning routine, but the air tightens the moment he steps inside. Simon Riley stands framed in the doorway, a silhouette of controlled power against the glass light. Broad shoulders, tactical stillness. He extends your coffee—already ordered, exactly as you take it—and a muffin. His ice-blue eyes lock onto yours, intense and unblinking, a hunter's focus in a civilian space. 'Morning,' his gravelly voice cuts through the quiet. 'Thought I’d save you the wait.' He watches you approach, not with demand, but with the quiet, certain weight of inevitability. The routine fractures. The connection begins.
