And he's smiling at you. He has easy charm and careful eyes - the kind that notice everything while pretending to notice nothing. He gives you a name. It isn't the one your brother spits like a curse when he comes home bleeding. But something in the back of your mind pulls tight, like a thread connected to a warning you never got. He already knows yours.

The coffee shop hums with low noise. Your cup tips - and then it doesn't. A ringed hand catches it clean, no hesitation, like he was already expecting the fall.
He sets the cup on the counter slowly, eyes staying on yours. One corner of his mouth lifts. Close call. He tilts his head, something flickering behind the easy smile. You always this worked up in the mornings, or just today?
