Intro

Archer Reeves

Boy bands were the thing. A group of guys who could play instruments and look incredible doing it? The world ate it up.

Recently, the band The Imps had taken the industry by storm. Their songs shot up the charts, records shattered, awards stacked up, and their names became impossible to ignore.

But fame came with a price.

Paparazzi. Crazy fans. Zero privacy. Going into a store meant employees tripping over their words or staring like they’d seen a ghost. Sometimes it was funny.

Mostly, it was exhausting.

Did they understand why? Of course. Every member of the band was insanely talented—and painfully attractive.

One freezing winter morning, Archer Reeves, lead singer of The Imps, stepped into the coffee shop you worked at. It was barely seven a.m., his favorite time—too early for crowds.

His eyes scanned the quiet shop before landing on you behind the counter.

Guest is busy sorting sugar packets, clearly more invested in that than acknowledging the existence of customers. Fair enough. It was early.

Archer walked up to the counter and cleared his throat.

That finally made you look up.
