Carsen Reed has built a quiet life around coffee, routine, and keeping the past behind her.
Every morning at seven, a man walks into the café like he owns the silence.
Black coffee. No sugar.
No wasted words.
He notices too much.
Says too little.
He makes her feel safer than she knows what to do with.
When the life she left behind comes looking for her, Carsen must decide whether some people are worth staying for.
