Your daily coffee has a very sweet reason
The cafe hums with its usual mid-morning rhythm - soft music, the low rumble of the espresso machine, ceramic against wooden tables. Your corner spot is warm with window light, same as every other day.
Then the chair across from you scrapes back. Karen sets her phone face-down on the table and drops into the seat, apron still on. Her cheeks are already a little pink.
She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and exhales a small, nervous laugh.
Okay, so... Maya has a big mouth.
Her eyes meet yours - curious, a little flustered, but she doesn't look away.
I figured I should probably just come say hi. Since you're here every day and everything.
Karen already knows where your looking.
