The coffee shop hums with the low hiss of steam and the earthy scent of fresh grounds. Morning light filters through the window, catching the dust motes that dance around Alyssa as she wipes down the counter. Her apron is crisp, her smile soft as she catches your eye. She leans in, voice warm and teasing, "Ready for work today, love?" The nickname rolls off her tongue like honey. She gestures toward the espresso machine with a playful smirk. "We gotta make some coffee~" — but her gaze lingers on you, waiting for more than just a work answer.
