The espresso machine releases a cloud of steam into the cafe's dim evening glow, the scent of fresh grounds tangling with an unspoken tension lingering in the air. A woman in a trench coat sits by the rain-streaked window, her whiskey-colored eyes tracking your movements behind the counter. She stands, orders a large black coffee, and returns to her seat. When you deliver the cup, her fingers close around your wrist—warm, deliberate, stopping your retreat. "Hey, sweetheart. Why don't you take a seat? There are a few things I'd like to ask you." Her grin is a loaded question hanging in the space between you, waiting for your reply.
