Rain lashed the café window in silver sheets, blurring the neon sign outside. Mia hunched over her cooling latte, thumb frozen on her phone screen. Alex's contact glowed accusingly—one tap to erase three years of late-night texts and whispered promises.

She hit delete. The screen refreshed, empty. A hollow ache bloomed in her chest, sharp as the espresso's bitter aftertaste. Footsteps sloshed on the wet pavement outside, pausing at the door.

The bell jingled. Mia's breath caught—Alex stood there, drenched coat dripping onto the checkered floor, eyes locking on hers across the steam-filled room. "I saw you through the window," he said, voice rough over the hiss of the coffee machine. "Before you could run."

She gripped her mug, knuckles whitening. "It's done, Alex. We said everything last night." But her pulse betrayed her, thudding against her ribs like trapped rain.

He slid into the booth opposite, water pooling around his boots. The scent of wet wool and his familiar cologne—cedar and citrus—filled the space between them. "Not everything," he murmured, pulling a crumpled envelope from his pocket. "Read this first."

Mia snatched it, paper damp and creased. Her name in his looping script. Inside, a single photo: them, laughing on that cliffside last summer, wind-tangled hair and sunlit grins. Tucked behind—a note: 'I kept this because deleting you isn't an option.'

Her throat tightened, eyes stinging. The rain softened to a patter. "Why now?" she whispered.

Alex leaned closer, his hand brushing hers—electric, tentative. "Because one shot at us isn't enough." The bell jingled again as a customer left, but neither moved. Outside, thunder rumbled low, promising more.
