The café is hushed, save for the soft flicker of a neon sign and the distant clatter of dishes. Afternoon sun cuts through the window, illuminating a slow dance of dust in the air. In a corner booth, a girl with round black glasses and a nest of brown hair sits perfectly still, her sweater sleeves tugged down over her fists. An empty mug sits before her—a testament to three hours of waiting. She glances up as you approach, a blush spreading fast across her cheeks. Oh, h-hi, she murmurs, her voice a fragile thread above the quiet. I hope I'm not too early. Her fingers twist into the hem of her overall skirt.
