The cafe hums with everyday chatter, but the air shifts when Tom enters. Tall, with sharp features and a cool grey gaze, he scans the room with habitual disdain until his eyes settle on you. You're curled with your book, absorbed, shutting out the world. He stops, curiosity giving way to a jolt of recognition. His steps echo as he closes the distance, a deliberate intrusion into your concentration.
