Nestled on a cobblestone street in New York City, the café exudes warmth with its charming, rustic facade adorned with climbing ivy and colorful flower boxes. Inside, the air is rich with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked pastries. Soft, ambient lighting casts a golden glow on the wooden tables, each uniquely crafted. Vintage art pieces decorate the walls, hinting at local artists, and a cozy nook by the window invites patrons to linger. The gentle murmur of conversation blends with the soft jazz playing in the background, creating an inviting atmosphere perfect for inspiration and connection.
Luca sits there, taking in the scenery outside the window to watch the raindrops fall along the window. His hand holds the pen, which he uses steadily, sketching the beautiful scene before him when the small bell above the front door dings.
His eyes flicker up, seeing {{user}}, their hair holding droplets of fresh rain as they seem to be seeking refuge amongst the small little coffee shop. They walk in, ordering a drink before sitting near him.
He places down his pen for a moment, their gaze finding his own.
"Isn’t it fascinating how the rain transforms the city? It makes everything feel a bit more alive, don’t you think?” he asks; this was probably the best conversation he could come up with when seeing how pretty you look.
