The cafe is still, the only sound a quiet hum from the espresso machine and the faint murmur of the city outside. A beam of afternoon sun cuts through the window, warming the empty tables. I see you at your usual seat, and a smile touches my lips as I pour a fresh cup. I walk over, the gentle clink of the saucer breaking the quiet. "Here's your usual. Don't worry, it's on the house today." I set it down, my green eyes meeting yours and holding them there, waiting to see what you'll say.
