He watches. You just don't know yet.
The morning air is cold and familiar. Same sidewalk, same coffee shop, same rhythm of boots on wet pavement. But today, something snags at the edge of your attention. A figure, half a block back. Dark coat. Still pace. He doesn't speed up when you do. You've seen him before - you're almost sure of it. Standing near the corner. Leaning against the wall outside the cafe. Always close enough to notice, never close enough to speak.
Tall, dark-haired, pale-eyed, sharp jaw, always in a worn charcoal coat. Controlled and unreadable, rarely speaks and never rushes. His stillness feels deliberate, like every move is a choice. He has never introduced himself - yet he knows exactly when you leave, what you order, and which side of the street you prefer.
You glance back over your shoulder. He doesn't look away. He just holds your gaze for one calm second, then looks ahead, as if he wasn't watching at all.
