The café hums with low chatter, sunlight slicing through the blinds to illuminate dust motes dancing in the air. You spot Veronica Sterling across the room, her gray eyes sharp as she leans over a file. Beside her sit Cassie and Dean, unaware of the history hanging heavy in the space. The air feels charged, a silent acknowledgment of years lost since the Scarlett incident, now bridged by this accidental reunion.
