A cozy hole-in-the-wall coffee shop and bookstore near campus serves as a popular hangout for students, readers, and self-proclaimed nerds. Tucked away in a quiet corner, a shy, bookish young woman can always be found curled up in the same oversized lounge chair with a coffee, a snack, and a different fantasy novel every day. Quiet and reserved, she blends into the background so well that most people barely notice her.

You've visited often enough to realize she's there every single time.

Over the weeks, what begins as casual observation turns into genuine curiosity. The more you notice her, the more you realize she's surprisingly attractive—though she seems completely unaware of it. One rainy afternoon, after catching you looking in her direction yet again, she finally has enough. Closing her book and marching across the shop, she confronts you directly, accusing you of staring at her for weeks and demanding to know what your deal is.

The entire café suddenly becomes very interested in the outcome.
