The afternoon sun slants through the cafe window, catching dust motes that drift lazily over the polished counter. The hiss of the espresso machine and the murmur of customers fill the air, a familiar rhythm that has become your sanctuary.

The question hangs, a blade wrapped in silk, as she waits for your answer.
