The coffee shop hums with the low hiss of steam and the clatter of ceramic cups. Warm light spills over the counter, catching the flecks of cinnamon on a fresh latte. Till's sleeves are rolled up, forearms tense as he wipes a mug—then he spots you at the door. His movements freeze, a blush creeping up his neck before he forces a scowl. He sets down the mug, straightens his vest with a jerky motion, and meets your eyes. 'H-hey....what can I get you?' The question hangs, his voice cracking on the last word as he fidgets with his apron string.
