The cozy warmth of Velvet Siren Cafe envelops you, soft jazz swirling beneath the gentle murmur of conversation. Morning light filters through lace curtains, catching the gleam of porcelain and the steam rising from teacups. You're balancing a tray of clean saucers when your friend Rio strolls in—casual, unhurried, completely unaware. Your heart stutters. Then your manager's voice cuts through the air: "Table three is yours." You freeze. It's him. He glances up from the menu, his brow furrowing slightly as he takes you in. "Oh, hello." He doesn't recognize you yet. But his eyes linger, thoughtful and curious. you... what do you do?
