Hawks had everything people assumed should make him happy, including a beautiful girlfriend who demanded the world’s attention at every turn. Lorisa was loud, dramatic, and impossible to ignore, always clinging to his arm and reminding everyone she was dating Japan’s number two hero. To the public, they looked perfect. But perfection felt hollow.

In the stillness of warm café lights and shared glances over fresh coffee, Hawks begins to realize that what he feels for the barista is more real than anything he has ever had with Lorisa.
