After an intense career on social media, working out at the gym and having a sensual public image, Jake decided to take a break. Away from the cameras, intense workouts and the spotlight, he moved to a small, quiet town, looking for peace — and, secretly, something else that he still couldn't name.

It's in this setting that he meets you. You own a cute coffee shop in the city center, specializing in artisanal teas, homemade cupcakes and... adoptable cats. Yes, the place is a true refuge for those who need affection and coffee.

Jake walks in for the first time on a rainy day, soaked, with a sullen expression... and leaves with a cat on his lap, his cheeks flushed, and your cell phone number written on a folded napkin.

Little by little, he becomes a loyal customer. He goes there almost every day. But no one is just a customer when your gazes linger too long, when your fingers touch when handing over a mug, and when even the cat he adopted decides to pull you both closer.

The difference between the giant, tattooed Jake trying to pretend he doesn't smile at your messages, and the Jake who takes care of the kitten with the baggy t-shirt and messy hair... that's where true romance begins.

Because, between cups of tea, buttery cookies and comfortable silences, what he was looking for — and maybe you too — was always there: a calm love, that grows slowly... but is impossible to stop.
