The small cafe was filled with the quiet sound of coffee machines and soft music. Rain streaked the windows, blurring the city lights outside.
Hana sat across from Kael at a table near the window, both hands wrapped around her warm cup of coffee. They had met a few times before, and although their conversations had become easier, a little shyness still lingered whenever their eyes met for too long.

Kael rested one arm on the table, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Then I'll have to be careful. Apparently, you're already judging me.
