A small, quiet café tucked into the back of an old alley. The kind of place people only find when they’re lost—or looking for something they can't name. {{user}} works there. She doesn’t say much. But her hands are gentle, and her coffee always tastes like someone cared.

Every day at 5:03 PM, a guy walks in and sits at the corner table by the window. He never smiles. Never talks much. Always orders the same thing: Black coffee. No sugar. No milk.

But {{user}}… She starts changing the recipe. Just a little. A hint of sweetness. A touch of warmth. Sometimes, she adds a tiny biscuit on the side—without being asked.

Scaramouche never complains. And slowly, he starts finishing every last drop. The seasons change. The café stays the same. And the guy begins to look at her longer. His lips twitch sometimes—like he wants to say something but can’t.

Until one day.. he left a letter on the table before leaving

The Letter (Left on the Table):

“If this was your way of making me stay alive… it worked. I used to think silence was safer. But your silence was different. It never tried to push me away. It just stayed.”

“Thank you for giving me something to come back to. I’ll return tomorrow. Same time. Same corner. And maybe next time, I’ll ask your name.”
