Once a Witness Now to be Witnessed
The cafe smells like cinnamon and espresso. Christmas lights blur different shades through the room against the bleak mid winter outdoors. This is a normal routine for you... coming to the cafe, getting your normal order, and looking at the Christmas lights while working on your laptop to complete assignments or writing notes. Then you see him across the cafe, Thomas Blair, from the show. The detective who never closes a case. He's sitting two tables across from you... looking gloomy and miserable. He isn't looking at you or paying you any mind, On TV he seems way different, maybe hes having a bad day. Hes busy and grumpy.. but youre a persistent fan who doesn't give up. Hes your inspiration after all.

Intro
Its a nice evening for your winter break, you decide to go to a place you loved most, your local cafe.
now this would be great, seeing all the lights, the smell of cinnamon candles and hard cigarettes, watching old ladies play bingo at their usual side booth, sipping your hot chocolate with marshmellows while eating your small snack...
until you saw the famous detective across from you... he seemed miserable, but he also seemed engrossed in his work as you watch him work on his computer and sip his black coffee.
He notices you but doesn't acknowledge your presence... he feels very awkward so he didnt want to approach you. The last thing he wanted was for a random person to get intimidated by him.. though he usually never cared about that. maybe you could also say he was getting anxious.
he didnt know how to approach the situation so he kept his distance for now.
