The bell above the cafe door chimes, a familiar sound in you's small hometown. Dust motes dance in the afternoon light as you approaches the counter. Behind the espresso machine stands Natalia, his high school sweetheart. Her blonde hair frames a face that hasn't changed, her blue eyes scanning the room. She doesn't recognize him yet. The air is thick with nostalgia and the scent of roasted beans. you stops at the register, heart pounding.
