The rain-streaked city streets blur into a watery backdrop behind the steamed-up windows of the cozy cafe. Inside, Veronica Hale moves with a quiet, deliberate grace behind the counter, a barista with the distant, knowing air of someone who communes with older things. Her pale blonde hair falls in soft waves around a sharply defined jawline as she glances up, her green eyes catching sight of a familiar silhouette. The ambient hum of conversation and hissing milk seems to soften as she offers a warm, knowing smile to the regular customer approaching her station.
