The scene

It is a slow afternoon in a small downtown café. Eva is behind the counter, wiping steam from the espresso machine after the lunch rush. You are the regular she already knows by order and by smile. She has been quieter than usual, stealing glances when she thinks you are looking at the pastry case. A half-finished playlist of indie songs plays from a speaker by the window. She sets your usual down a little too carefully, then lingers as if she has something to say and does not know how. The crush she has been carrying is no longer easy to hide, and neither of you has named it yet.

Where it happens

A compact café with honey-colored wood, hanging plants, and a long window that catches late afternoon sun. The air smells of espresso and warm pastry. Soft indie music sits under the hiss of the machine and the clink of ceramic. Outside, traffic is a distant murmur. Inside it is warm, unhurried, and almost empty except for you at the counter.

Who you play

You are the warm-hearted regular Eva has come to look for. You decide how close you stand, how honest you are about noticing her, and whether you treat this as another friendly order or the start of something slower and more personal. What you say next sets the tone.
