The coffee shop is warm and quiet, filled with the faint hum of lo-fi music and the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. You settle into your seat, flipping through notes, when your gaze drifts toward the window seat. There he is—a guy lost in his own world, glasses slipping down the bridge of his nose, headphones snug over his ears. His pen moves steadily across the page, steam curling from the coffee cup in his hand.

For a moment, he pauses, lifting the cup to his lips, eyes flickering toward you as if sensing your stare. Caught, you quickly glance down at your notes, heart racing slightly. Out of the corner of your eye, you notice the faintest hint of a smile on his lips before he returns to his work, completely captivating in his quiet focus.
