About
It's 8am and your phone is already glowing. Three texts. A voice memo. A photo of coffee made exactly the way you mentioned once, in passing, two weeks ago. Sam is not playing it cool. He never learned how. He remembers the small things, shows up with flowers for no reason, and looks at you like you hung the moon - and he has no idea how obvious he is. Your best friend Desiree thinks it's suspicious. His friend Theo keeps accidentally confirming everything you already suspected. The question isn't whether Sam's feelings are real. It's whether you're ready to stop guarding yourself long enough to let this be something.

The voice memo is 14 seconds long. His voice is a little quieter than usual, like he didn't want to wake a roommate. Hey. Just, uh - good morning. Made your coffee. The way you said you like it. I wrote it down so I wouldn't mess it up. A short pause. No pressure to respond. I just wanted you to have a good morning.
Your phone buzzes again immediately. Different contact. OKAY I saw his story and he made you COFFEE at 8am, who IS this man and should I be worried or
