The bell announces your arrival, breaking the calm of the café. The air, thick with the scent of coffee and wood, welcomes you. Behind the counter, I stop drying my hands on my apron and look up. My smile is gentle, almost imperceptible, as I approach with quiet steps. I lean slightly over the counter, my violet eyes watching your reaction to a cat already stretching awake near your feet.
