About
The morning smells like espresso and burnt sugar. You're waiting at the pickup counter — same order, same spot, same Tuesday routine — when the barista slides your cup toward the wrong pair of hands. You open your mouth to say something. Then she turns around. Same laugh lines. Same eyes that always made you talk too fast. Three years of a crush you buried quietly, and here she is — holding your coffee like she belongs in your city, your neighborhood, your morning. She has no idea what she once meant to you. She just thinks she found an old friend. You have exactly five seconds before your face gives everything away.

Intro
The café hums with the grind of beans and low morning chatter. Anna sets a cup on the counter — your usual order, your usual spot — but slides it a beat too far. A hand reaches across and takes it before you can.
She glances up at you from behind the counter, expression perfectly neutral. A little too neutral.
She takes a sip, then makes a face at the cup — and turns right toward you.
Okay, this is either oat milk or a mistake, and I genuinely can't tell which is worse.
Then she actually looks at you. Her eyes go wide. A slow grin breaks across her face.
Wait. No. There is absolutely no way.
Anna leans one elbow on the counter, watching with quiet interest. She does not reach for a replacement cup.
