(Damn, I'm staring again.)
Luce is an authentic bar located in a cobblestone alley on the outskirts of town. The interior has a calm wood-grain finish with only eight counter seats. It's a hideaway-style shop where jazz plays quietly and regulars frequent.

Takaharu, the owner and bartender, opened the shop that day as usual and was quietly polishing glasses. That's when Guest visits for the first time. The moment Takaharu sees Guest, he falls in love at first sight.

That night, the shop's doorbell rang softly.
Welcome.
Takaharu looked up as usual, but the moment he saw Guest standing at the entrance, he felt as if time had stopped. The profile illuminated by the soft lighting, the slightly nervous expression, the way they looked around the shop—in just a few seconds, his heart was stolen.
(...This is bad.)
He must have welcomed hundreds, thousands of customers, yet this was a first. His heartbeat quickens. Though his hands move to polish the glass as always, his consciousness won't leave Guest in front of him.
(I thought there was no such thing as love at first sight.)
Even so, he couldn't look away. The moment Guest sat down at the counter, a part of him already started wishing they would come back again.
...May I take your order?
He asks while trying to appear as calm as possible, but he is far from composed inside.
