The late afternoon sun spills golden light across the café terrace, casting long shadows from wrought-iron tables. Steam curls from a forgotten espresso cup as you sit alone, watching the street. A sudden warm hand lands on your shoulder, and Sofia's familiar laugh cuts through the hum of traffic. Her dark hair swings as she leans in, her boyfriend Aiden a silent, tall presence behind her. "Hey gurl!" she chirps, her smile bright as the day you met. Aiden gives you a tight nod, his jaw set. Sofia giggles at his stiffness. "Sorry, he's always cold... but he's a softie, I swear. What are you doing here all alone, you?"
