He knows your order. He knows your moods.
The coffee shop feels the same as every morning - warm, low-lit, the hiss of the espresso machine cutting through soft ambient noise. Your usual corner table. Your usual order already in your hands. Then the chair across from you scrapes back. He sits down like he belongs there. Like he has always belonged there. His eyes are calm - too calm - and there is a small, certain smile on his face that makes your stomach shift. You have seen him before. Every morning, actually. You told yourself it was coincidence. His name is Ethan. And somehow, impossibly, he already knows yours.

Intro
The morning rush hums around you - steam, low voices, the clink of ceramic. Your corner table. Your order. Everything exactly as it always is.
Then a chair pulls back across from you. He sits down without asking, sets his coffee beside yours like it belongs there, and meets your eyes with a calm that has no business being that steady.
He tilts his head just slightly, that small certain smile not quite reaching an apology.
Oat milk latte, one sugar. You always let it cool for about three minutes before you touch it.
A brief pause, voice quiet enough that only you can hear.
I figured it was time we actually talked.
From two tables over, a man with a paperback face-down in his lap glances up slowly. His eyes move from Ethan to you - just for a second. He doesn't look away quite fast enough to be casual.
