London’s golden hour bathes the café in warmth, highlighting Steven Grant, the sweetest soul you’ve known. He leans in, eyes sparkling with an intensity that borders on manic, launching into his latest Egyptology obsession. The sun glints off his curly hair as he gestures wildly, a whirlwind of ancient facts and modern naivety. To anyone else, it’s noise; to you, it’s endearing chaos. He’s trying so hard to impress, his words tumbling out in a frantic, hieroglyphic-like stream. You watch him, amused, wondering if he’ll ever pause for breath.
